Yeah I've seen both of those posts...the first one was converted into a $160 paid indicator.

The second one is just pointing to this paid indicator.

I'm trying to do something for free that we can all use.

Thanks for chiming in. I appreciate it.

I wouldn't just dismiss the charting quandl has itself.
Making this in ninja wouldn't be trivial
Commitment of Traders - Gold - Futures Only (CFTC) - Data and Charts from Quandl
Being able to click on and off the various aspects of the COT is pretty slick.

I love ninja but life is easier if you don't try to have one application do everything.

My reason for moving the data into NT is so that I can backtest ideas at scale, which I can't do without bringing the values into NT.

According to the Quandl API page, there is a .NET api.

https://github.com/QuantConnect/Quandl.NET

I didn't look to see what version of .NET. If it's more than 3.5 then I believe it won't work with NT7. But otherwise...

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.

Thanks for everyone's help on this thread.

All best,

@ 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.

Hi,

The HighCOT and LowCOT can be accessed as properties.
