Not a bad idea...however if wrapping the code around this .NET API meant that everyone would need to download the .NET API, I don't think it would work very well. But hell, who knows...maybe it would be.
Right now I'm stuck on the dumbest thing: how to convert a List<string> that contains string elements that are formatted as "XXXX.0". I need to:
1. Parse the ".0"
2. Convert the parsed value to an Int 32
3. Add the parsed Int32 value to a new List
If I can do this, I'm in the barn...but I can't get the damn gate open. It should be easy, but it's been a long day.

I made great progress this AM. I've now successfully pulled the legacy COT info from a Quandl web request and then converted the information into dates and values. I'm able to print this info to the Output Window--so I have successfully completed part 1 of pulling the COT data into NT.
Next up will be matching dates and bars to assign the correct COT values to each bar--and then assign the correct values to plots and plot the info. Almost there.

Howdy--
I finished my COT indicators, and I posted them in the Elite section under a new thread call Commitment of Trader's ("COT") Report: NT Tools and Discussion. I chose to make the indicators Elite only so as to help out nexusfi.com (formerly BMT), which has been a big part of my journey.
@ gomi- do you think you could make an indicator using your COT from your GomVolumeLadder? I think it may be very beneficial to see them as bars above and below a zero line.
