MetaCOT 2 CFTC Toolbox Indicators is a set of indicators for MetaTrader 4/5 that analyze CFTC reports (US Commodity Futures Trading Commission) and allow you to plot COT, D-COT, TFF, and CIT charts directly in the MetaTrader platform. These indicators are available in source code, but their functionality requires special libraries. MetaCOT 2 CFTC Toolbox supports the following CFTC report types: - CIT - Commodity Index Trader Supplement: A specific type of report that includes the positions of index traders, reminiscent of the classic COT report, but with the addition of option positions. - LRGST - Largest Positions: COT reports that contain additional data about the positions of major market participants as a percentage of open interest. For each supported report type, the following indicators are plotted: - Absolute Position: Displays the absolute positions of market participants, serving as the basis for other indicators. - Absolute Changes: Calculates weekly changes in net positions, providing results in net changes and percentage changes. - Netto Positions: Shows the net positions of traders, available for all report types. - Netto Changes: Calculates changes in net positions, similar to Absolute Changes, but for net positions. - COT Index: A classic oscillator indicating extreme overbought and oversold conditions, with values ranging from 0 to 100. - Willco (Williams Commercial Index): An advanced modification of the COT Index, considering historical levels and market volume. - Movement Index: Calculates the difference between the current and previous COT Index or Willco values, indicating potential market reversals. ## Installation and Usage To install and use the indicators, follow these steps: 1. Download the special tool for installing and updating reports. 2. Install the reports to your computer using the tool. 3. Place all files according to their specified locations. 4. Compile the indicators in MetaEditor by selecting each folder and clicking "Compile" in the context menu. 5. After compilation, the indicators will appear in MetaTrader. Run them on the chart, but note that data may be delayed. 6. Recompile all indicators after making changes to ensure optimal performance. ## Multiple Indicators in One Window MetaCOT indicators are designed to allow multiple indicators in one subwindow of the main chart. This feature enables the calculation of standard indicators based on MetaCOT data. For example, you can create two COT indices in one window and calculate the moving average for one of them. ## Exporting CFTC Reports to CSV and Excel MetaCOT 2 CFTC Toolbox provides the ability to export any data from any report to a CSV file, which can then be imported into Excel for further analysis. The export process is facilitated by a special script that saves indicator values in a CSV file. ## For Programmers All indicators are based on a common algorithm: 1. Fill a special structure (COTBaseSettings) for request data. 2. Download the underlying report data through the MetaCOT 2 CFTC Toolbox library. 3. Calculate indicator values based on the underlying data. 4. Synchronize calculated values with the current chart and display them. ## Analysis of 'Commitments of Traders' (COT) Reports MetaCOT 2 provides various indicators for analyzing COT reports, such as Absolute Position, Absolute Changes, Netto Position, Netto Changes, COT Index, Willco, and Movement Index.
