Speaking of the COT--Commitment of Traders, Jack Carl futures and also possibly Barcharts.com has a very nice free charting menu of where you can see what the commercials, large traders and small traders are doing. customer1.barchart.com I think that link will work. we can see that the commercials got very short in late April and early May. While the Large Traders ( who are commodity funds, hedge funds etc) were net long more contracts than any time this year. Of course the Commercials, who are in the business tend to be right most of the time, were short the futures at the time. Prices fell considerably as they should, Recently the commercials have become net long once again while the traders are quite short Dec coffee. Larry Williams Book "How I made a Million Dollars trading Commodities" was one of the popular groundbreakers that told of this COT fundamentals approach back in the early 1970's. The book has a surprising amount of useful information for a book that is not really that big and is deceptively easy to read. I don't recall the Jackcarl or any site have the visual charts of the COT data last year. jackcarl.com Peter, I know that you know the above info, except for possibly that the JC site has the COT info, but I figured I'd post it for the lurkers. John EDIT: don't know if you've seen this Gann Square of nine article marketwarrior.com I started looking at it early, but had to go do something else, I thought I saw a problem.... (I've got a phone call and am not gonna get this in this post)
