ad Brent vs WTI: Contrary positions are quite normal when the spread between Brent and WTI is high - for those who have the capacities physical arbitrage is possible.
ad CoT: Take the official numbers; everything else is add-on/interpretation.
ad NT: If you can't live with the CoT lag, buy a data stream that tags Crude Level 2 with the ECNs and analyze it according to your own needs. Esp for the ICE that's no bargain ...
Ok, so if I read it right, there is 2x more commercials in Short possitions then in Long as to 1st Semptember at Crude Oil, Light Sweet. My question will be perhaps silly, but to what belongs that Crude Oil, Light Sweet? I tought there severe kinds of oil (WTI, Brent, Canadian HVY, Dubai, ...).
perhaps folks have already given an answer. Not sure if this helps. If not ignore as this is paid (https://PINNACLEDATA2.COM/) which typically i use "IDX DB" for longer term analysis. However I do not do COT and as pointed perhaps COT data is available elsewhere better.
Is the only benefit of pinnacledata before official CoT reports daily base? Last report at CoT is from 1st Semptember, are reports published biweekly?
Yes, I know there are various kinds of oil, but what I would expect from them is some degree of mutual price correlation. Majority customers can substitute one kind for another onewhich really neccessary, don't they?
In the report is part of oil:
CRUDE OIL, LIGHT SWEET - NEW YORK MERCANTILE EXCHANGE Code-067651

Why WTI and Brent Crude Oil is at opposite side of long/short possitions. What does it mean "Swap" and "Last Day" in the report?
