About Me
Independent Commodity & Futures Trader • COT Data • Seasonality • VWAP Strategies
Hi, I'm Andreas Neier – the person behind cot-trader.com
I’ve been trading commodities and indices for more than a decade, with a strong focus on data-driven decision making. My trading is built on Commitment of Traders (COT) data, seasonality, and volume-based strategies such as VWAP and market structure.
Over the years I realized that profitable trading is not about guessing the next move, but about understanding how large market participants – commercials, funds and speculators – position themselves and how seasonal patterns repeat over time.
On this website I share my analyses, ideas, and tools that I personally use in my own trading. No financial advice – just real market insights, transparency, and a passion for commodities.
My Trading Focus
- • COT data interpretation and positioning analysis
- • Seasonal and fundamental patterns in commodities
- • VWAP-based intraday and swing strategies
- • Futures and CFD execution (Pepperstone, IBKR, ActivTrades)
Technologies I Work With
- • TradingView (Pine Script v6)
- • MetaTrader 5 (EA development)
- • Python & Excel for data analysis
- • Azure Cloud & Web Automation
My Vision for cot-trader.com
To create a transparent platform that helps traders understand and trade commodities smarter – combining data, discipline and experience.
I believe in consistency, simplicity, and sharing real trading insights – not marketing promises. If you’re passionate about commodities and systematic trading, you’ll feel right at home here.
