 the problem I've always faced with these reports is how to  quickly
 bring this info into an indicator.  Have you actually created a  macro

 something to grab this data from the CFTC's website and process it 
 quickly  into a file to be read by your chart program?  Getting it there

 seems to be the hassle.  And I find that if you  can't make the study of
the 
 report a  consistant, habitual practice, its value as a tool dimishes.
 
 Mark, sorry I dont have a quick easy way of getting this data from the
ascii file. I did it manually and put it into excel (and it was a
hassle). I was always interested in this study and wanted to explore it
for myself . The two week delay in getting updates is a problem as the
recent decline in the markets has shown.
