If you want to get free chat you could easly use Barchart trader - demo version in indicators you have COT.

If there is ninjatrader version and someone has it I would be glad to get it

I don't know how long this has been available but the CME has really nice Disaggregated Commitments of Traders (DCOT) charts.

https://www.cmegroup.com/tools-information/quikstrike/commitment-of-traders-agricultural.html

Only problem is that it is only CME contracts. So no ICE softs.

I am currently suscribed to TradeCOT.com at $9/month is a good deal and you can backtest ideas in Ninja.
I am finding out it works best on some instruments that others, depending on how you read it of course.

I have no opinion about that website, but if you simply want the COT data in Ninja, you can get it here free:

@Big Mike I used it for awhile and it worked fine until I started losing connection to the webclient repeatedly. I suscribed to the website after that.
