Hi Barnix

Do you know the exact time when futures and options combined reports are released on Friday? In GMT please...

I only see that "Commitments of Traders reports are released at 3:30 pm Washington D.C. time", so it's 19.30GMT...

Thanks

that sounds right to me

Buy_Orders_2007 May

* Each currency pair has three graphs: Buy Orders, Sell Orders, and Buy-Sell Orders Difference. Note that orders consist of both Market Entry orders (limit orders) and Stop-Loss/Take-Profit orders.

* Red line shows the exchange rate.

* Each graph consists of several 1-hour vertical bars each of which covers 80% of orders at the time.

* Colors show the density of orders at different price levels.

* The density is calculated relative to number of the total orders (both Buy and Sell) at the time.

* By default, weekend data is not shown due to insignificant price and order movements.
