'Commitments of Traders' is a method of market analysis well known to futures traders, less so to stock traders. It is based on comparing positions of three groups of traders - hedgers, large speculators and small speculators. The person widely considered to be the most serious COT analyst is Steve Briese. After seeing his comments tonight, I asked him for a permission to quote them in full in SpikeTrdae, and he graciously agreed. Please read them below.
