Below are helpful resources for using Shatterfield data. Although the data can be imported into almost any spreadsheet application (ASCII format), we are making available template and indicator install files that will be very helpful to MetaStock users. For those of you not using MetaStock, please feel free to contact us with any resource requests that may help you to use the data in other ways.

Each of these files will install indicators and templates that will plot the Commitments of Traders Net Positions, COT Strength, and the Open Interest for each group in the selected commodity. See an example chart below:
