Hello Stu,

Yes COT Data can be very useful. Some very big high rollers use this data to trade alone. Although I do not, I have seen it been done. I think the COT data is only availble at specific time though. If im not mistaken, which i might, its a graphical representation of commercial traders, non-commercial traders, and smaller retail traders. The way I see it used is similar to a moving average cross over system. But, I beleive this will only be relative to long term trading. Attached is a picture of the graphical indicator. I found it an a currency trader article. It might help. Good luck.
