The Commitment Of Traders Report by Jon Anderson

The Commitment Of Traders Report by Jon Anderson The numbers reveal plenty about market participation. There are two basic ways to analyze the futures market: technically and fundamentally. Many traders have a purely technical approach, with total disregard for the fundamentals. While that can be profitable, it can also allow you to be blindsided by the market. It pays to know the fundamentals, because they can help you anticipate which direction the market will move. But trading purely on fundamentals is also dangerous. Fundamentalists calculate a value for a specific commodity based on the laws of supply and demand. At some point, a given commodity may become cheap or expensive in relation to supply and demand. By quantifying the sentiment level among various traders, valuable information is added to the mix. This is the purpose of the Commitment of Traders report.
