All content provided on Williams Commercial Index COT Screener, including but not limited to analysis of the Commitment of Traders (COT) reports, market commentary, and educational materials, is provided for informational and educational purposes only. Nothing contained herein constitutes a solicitation, recommendation, endorsement, or offer to buy or sell any securities, futures, options, or other financial instruments.

2. Not Financial Advice

The author is not a licensed financial advisor, investment solicitor, or tax professional. The information provided does not take into account your specific investment objectives, financial situation, or risk tolerance. You should consult with a qualified financial professional before making any investment decisions. You are solely responsible for your own trading decisions.

3. Nature of COT Data (The “Lag” Factor)

Users must acknowledge that the Commitment of Traders (COT) reports issued by the CFTC are lagged data. The information released on Fridays typically reflects market positions held as of the preceding Tuesday. Market conditions may have changed significantly between the data collection date and the release date. This data is a measure of past sentiment and is not a real-time indicator of future price movements.

4. Risk of Loss

Trading in the foreign exchange (Forex), commodity, and futures markets involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. You may lose all or more than your initial investment. Only “risk capital” (money that, if lost, will not alter your lifestyle or financial security) should be used for trading.

While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date analysis, Rene Kernegger makes no warranties or representations as to the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information. Furthermore, any calculated index data, custom metrics, and derived values (including the Willco Index) are subject to calculation errors, data feed discrepancies, and programming defects. These calculations should not be solely relied upon for making financial decisions. All market data is subject to change without notice. We are not liable for any loss or damage, including without limitation, any loss of profit, which may arise directly or indirectly from the use of or reliance on such information.

6. Hypothetical & Past Performance

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Any hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations and do not represent actual trading. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those discussed.
