i know that this is a very noob question and info are provided on the COT chart segment of this site. however, im still confused as to determining what good numbers are, and i can't figure out if they're committing to sell or buy based on the numbers.

its hard to determine sell or buy from COT report....
one way to use it is... when u hit big difference between commercial n speculator data.... by checking the historical high n low for them.... it could indicate a trend changing if u get my point!

sorry for missing info. im actually more into longer term. i trade daily charts and use price action trigger with respect to the overall fundamentals of a certain pair. general rule is pair the weak with the strong. i usually trade like 3-5x in a month.
what i need to just get out of the COT report is overall bullish/bearish sentiments of major participants like the non-commercial. i know they actively trade with big volumes. commercials are those that use forex to hedge and not expect profit, just using forex to offset or maybe protect themselves from volatility.
now, on the COT report screen, like the USDCAD, if the large speculators number is a (-51,916), does that mean that most large speculators position are short?

COT report data might be usable to your trading style but I can't help in that because it was not use full for me.

Being Bearish or Bullish Makes No Difference

i can see on usd/cad.... the numbers reached extremes while u cant see a real extreme high or low in the last period of time.... anyway, the other thing is bearish bias will be the dominant for the long-med term!...
this is from the cot report... but plz dont consider that alone... coz for me i think usd.cad is to the north in med term!

COT report helps to understand market participants, like commercials and non-commercials, and how they are trading the market.
