Because there is absolutely no indior for that, so why would you place it?

Seriously every post that has scalping or a bunch of indiors or EA are sexy topic, but when you actually have to do some job, no one wants it. So its rather moot.

Practice the big traders.... Watch the video,.... Oh wait that would mean that you need to do something rather than be spoon fed.

Ilook for the commercials and massive traders positions to come together.

Why? .... You have already missed a large portion of the changeover when the two come together.

Watch the large traders, they're the speculators, the commercials are hedging there international earnings to help protect them from the currency fluctuations.

Can you show us some example, how do we determine long or short,
by employing the COT report for GBP?

Look in the non-commercials column.... See the number of positions from the short and long columns? .... The commercials are net short in general positions for the sterling....
Also see time charts...http://www.timingcharts.com/ When you goto time charts you will want to open the drop down list of markets and goto EURO Globex.... You can register and have your settings saved so that you may come back to the charts you are intersted in rather than go through the decoration, and see the movie http://www.pfxglobal.com/follow-the-...ion-video.html
One final theing, when you go to the CFTC site for commnt of traders.... Use the type, not he long form.

Can you notify me to the under, can it be net short or long?
Cause actual chart is an uptrend, but in reality, if we follow the COT on 9/9/08, is revealing a net short.

non advertisements are net short....but you are looking at old data.

And inspect the links supplied by loophole...

Yes, on the 9th Sept'08, the COT report demonstrating a net brief, but in reality, the trend actually showing uptrend. If we follow the COT report on the 9th Sept'08, then we'd have reduction money.Correct me if I have wrong.

I have completed research on COT over the web, but can't find an answer on that.
Can you provide me some advise?
