CoT Bias Tracker [DOSALGO]

By harnessing the weekly Commitment of Traders (CoT) report, this indicator automatically fetches, processes, and displays the net positioning of Commercials (Hedgers), Non-Commercials (Large Speculators), and Retail traders. Its standout feature is the unique dual-asset analysis for Forex pairs, which automatically breaks down a pair like EURUSD into its Base (EUR) and Quote (USD) components, giving you a crystal-clear view of the capital flows driving the market.
Stop guessing the trend and start tracking the institutional bias that truly matters.
Key Features
📈 Complete CoT Data Analysis: Automatically fetches and displays the latest weekly net positions for three key market participants: Commercials, Non-Commercials, and Retail Traders.
🌍 Unique Forex Pair Analysis: The only tool you'll need for Forex. It intelligently separates pairs (e.g., AUDJPY) into their Base (AUD) and Quote (JPY) currencies and displays a full CoT analysis for each, revealing which currency is truly in demand.
📊 Advanced Bias Dashboard: A comprehensive and fully customizable dashboard provides an at-a-glance summary of the market's sentiment, including current positions, weekly changes, and both short-term and long-term bias readings.
🧠 Conviction Analysis: This indicator goes deeper than just net positions. By analyzing the relationship between positioning changes and Open Interest, it gauges the conviction behind a move, distinguishing between a "Strong Long" (new money entering) and a "Weak Long" (short covering).
🚀 POIV Metric: Includes the Position x Open Interest Volume (POIV) metric, an advanced tool for measuring the cumulative force behind positioning changes over time.
📉 Historical Data Plotting: Visualize the net positioning data and its moving average directly on your chart's indicator pane. This is perfect for identifying historical extremes, divergences, and long-term trends in positioning.
⚙️ Automatic Symbol Recognition: The indicator intelligently detects the asset on your chart—from Forex pairs to indices like the S&P 500 and commodities like Gold—and automatically fetches the correct CoT data.
🎨 Full Customization: Tailor the entire tool to your workspace. Control the dashboard's position, size, and colors. Toggle the visibility of any data row or plot to focus only on what matters to you.
The Dashboard Explained
The dashboard gives you a complete, multi-faceted view of the market's positioning.
Participant Groups:
Commercials: Often considered the "smart money." They use futures to hedge their business operations and typically fade trends, buying into lows and selling into highs.
Non-Commercials: Large speculators like hedge funds and institutions. They are typically trend-followers, and their positioning is a powerful indicator of the current dominant trend.
Retail Traders: Small, non-reportable speculators. They are often seen as a contrarian indicator.
Net Positions & Change: See the raw net long or short positions from the current and previous week's report, along with the net change to understand the weekly capital flow.
S-Term Bias (Short-Term): Based on the weekly net change, this tells you who was buying and who was selling since the last report.
L-Term Bias (Long-Term): Compares the current net position to its moving average to define the dominant positioning trend. (Note: This reading is most effective on the Weekly chart timeframe.)
Conviction (via Open Interest): Found in the "Open Interest" row under the L-Term Bias column, this powerful metric tells you how positions are changing:
Strong Long: New buyers are entering the market with conviction.
Weak Long: Existing shorts are covering their positions.
Strong Short: New sellers are entering the market with conviction.
Weak Short: Existing longs are closing their positions.
Use Cases & Strategy
Trend Confirmation: Use the positioning of Non-Commercials to confirm the strength and direction of a trend you've identified with technical analysis.
Reversal Signals: Look for extreme net positioning levels or divergences between Commercial and Non-Commercial sentiment, which can often precede major market reversals.
Forex Strength Analysis: When trading a pair like GBPJPY, use the dashboard to see if Non-Commercials are strongly bullish on GBP while being bearish on JPY. This "double confirmation" can highlight high-probability trade setups.
Important Notes
Understanding CoT Data: The Commitment of Traders report is released by the CFTC every Friday afternoon (~3:30 PM ET). Crucially, it reflects the positions that were held on the preceding Tuesday. It is a tool for gauging medium- to long-term sentiment, not for intraday signals.
