О книге: Floyd has answered for many in this book a way to both understand and use the Commitment of Traders reports. In my thirty-five years as a registered broker and author of my own book, I find that at times someone takes a complex subject and makes it easier to understand. Floyd has done this with his book. Not only does he make understanding the COT easy, but he ties it to some technical trading ideas that readers can try out, using historical data on their own. Truly another good technical book for those looking to understand this often overlooked subject. – Ira Epstein, PresidentIra Epstein & Company Futures «For many years, Ive had requests from customers seeking information on the Commitment of Traders report but had few resources to which I could refer them.
