CHFJPY: Want to short oil? Here's a nice proxy pair...CHFJPY is offering a terrific reward/risk opportunity in the daily chart.
As you can see I have marked a level of net short positioning for oil futures traders, as well as added the oil line chart as an overlay to the comittment of traders report data indicator so you can see what happened the last time commercial hedgers' net short positions reached these levels.
I anticipate downtrend continuation naturally, and as you can see, this pair is a good alternative to outright shorting oil futures, and if you factor in pips instead of % distance, it can outperform the oil shorts, with potentially lower risk (considering the way the chart's setup).
As a sidenote, commercial traders are now net short the Swiss Franc, which is good incentive too. (They have been wrong in the Yen, but large specs have captures all major moves in it and are net long and increasing longs currently).
Entry is either a new daily low, or a retracement to the red triangle tip with stops above the red line or using 1 to 3 times the daily ATR value.
If interested in my trading signals, or in personal tuition, contact me privately. I'm offering a considerable discount on a packaged course which includes access to my private trading signals list for a year.

COT
Aussie move driven by short coveringHi everyone!
I would really appreciate any comments or thoughts on this analysis, what are you missing here, if there is anything unclear. Your time is greatly appreciated! Thank you.
Last week I published and Aussie did actually exactly what was anticipated. Price went up confirming support zone and pivot points at .695. Price is now siting in from of resistance zone and 618 Fib retracement which is usually sell zone for bears.
Considering that according to COT report from last week the number of short was reduced while number of longer hasn't gone up much someone can interpret this price increase can be just a short covering and is not driven by bulls.
As a result I see price of Aussie to retrace towards .702 levels this week. Significant volatility might be triggered around Interest rate decision on Wednesday.

US Dollar Index To Fall - First Support at 84.50The US Dollar Index has been rising strongly for most of this year, coincident with a major decline in broad based commodity indexes. However, we are currently seeing signs that the current price level may be the end of this strong run and lead to a major consolidation - likely coincident with a rally in overall commodities.
This chart shows the daily Dollar Index. There is a notable divergence on the momentum indicator between the October high and the current December high. The notes on the chart show that a typical price target after a divergence pattern would be for a retracement to the price low of the divergence pattern - in this case at about 84.50 which would be the next major horizontal price support on the chart.
Also while not shown on the chart the current Commitment of Traders data shows that the large speculators maxed there net long position at the October high as well, and the current run up from Oct to December has been on commercial buying which is opposite their normal pattern, and is a typical and classic sign of capitulation in a trend. This creates a compelling technical set-up for a sell out or short position. And the CoT data gives us confirmation from the "fundamentals" as evidenced in the extreme net short of the "smart money" commercial traders. The divergence or capitulation in commercial positions just gives us another aspect of market psychology suggesting that the trend is very close to an end.
New COT Analysis XAU/USD 19/09/14My previous interpretation of this value was that I looked if the potential went lower or higher than previous week for defining a trend.
But after watching a bit back in the past it shows more accuracy if the trend is defined by the point 1.
If the potential wents from over 1 to under 1 it becomes an uptrend.
If the potential wents from under 1 to over 1 it becomes a downtrend.
COT Analysis 12. September XAU/USDWe had a lower shorting potential this week but the market did not go up. The COT shorting potential is a very qualitative value for predicting the market direction of the upcoming week. It depends on the relation to the last value.
The so called shorting potential is again the second time lower and the commercials are stocking up their long positions. Addiotionally we have Indian Celebration and Marriage season upcoming.
COT Analysis 5. September XAU/USDI made a calculation system which shows the shorting potential of a trading symbol through the COT report which gets released every friday afternoon. The movement for the next week can be calculated fundamentally for getting a value which just tells you the movement if you know the previous value and in this case the value for the next week is lower than the last week and this means a long potential.
Higher potential than previous week: downtrend
Lower potential than previous week: uptrend
KC shortKC broke tested for the fourth time the support at current level and broke, if there's follow through, it's a good short. Historically, July should be the seasonal low. COT report- commercial is not hedging at this point.
