Welcome to Forex Trend Forecast

It’s no secret that the weekly Commitments of Traders (COT) report (published by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission) often yields extremely important clues as to future market direction. This knowledge of how the ‘Big Dog’ traders are positioning themselves in the futures market gives us a huge advantage when trading currencies in the cash market.

Yet sometimes it can be difficult for newer traders to know how to incorporate COT data into actual trading decisions. Some make the mistake of wanting to jump into a trade right away when they see a potentially important COT signal. Others miss opportunities altogether because they’re confused about the link that exists between these two markets. The result? Frustration and dissatisfaction.

The good news is that we at Forexmentor have developed a new trading resource that will help you better qualify COT signals and draw the linkage between COT positioning and high level price action.

Our Forex Profits with COT service is developed and hosted by Frank Paul. Those familiar with Frank’s previous offering Forex Profits with MACD know that his approach is to leave no stone unturned in the quest to provide top-quality trading resources.

Frank’s approach to the COT is unique and, in our opinion, completely unparalleled in the market. With this service you don’t just get a table of numbers and a cryptic chart or two that leaves you wondering what to make of it all.

So USDX Made Another Low – Now What?

This past week was pretty challenging when it came to figuring out how to position ourselves in relation to the dollar.

For USDX, the week prior saw a pretty solid bounce up off a support level around the 75 mark, and it was looking good for a bottom reversal call. Fast forward to late last week and price once again sagged.

Where To For The Dollar?

Do you ever feel, well, flabbergasted at all the news and gossip offered up in the mainstream media about the US dollar (or any market for that matter)?

One day, it’s nothing but doom and gloom, with reports that some UN committee or other is proposing that the dollar be replaced as the world’s de facto reserve currency. Then the next, the buck is suddenly surging, gaining more than 400 pips against the Euro in just over a week (as
happened to the November 3rd low @ 1.4627).

So if the greenback is so sick, why the surge?

The Big Picture on the EUR/USD

In this week’s presentation, we look at the Big Picture on the EUR/USD – anticipating a top of major significance (concurrent with a bottom on the US Dollar Index), and then confirming the trend reversal.  It was a very tricky week in terms of identifying the top in real time, and I’ll candidly admit that I was expecting price to drift just a wee bit higher than it did before a selloff commenced.  But, again, it was the Big Picture we really needed to keep in mind, and the fact that we were in the tail end of an Elliott 5th wave at four different degrees of trend – Weekly, Daily, 4hr and 60m – told us to not be chasing this pair too much higher, and to be on guard for signs of a (quote) “sharp reversal”.
