Floyd Upperman

Floyd Upperman is recognized as the leading expert and analyst of Commitments of Traders (COT) data. He is the author of the commodity trading book "Commitments of Traders" and is one of the world's foremost authority on this long neglected subject.
Trained in the use of data analysis in problem solving, he uncovered the unique value of COT data as a powerful market indicator. His proprietary system, Individual Market Participant Analysis (IMPA), has an unparalleled record of success in applying COT data to futures trading.
The IMPA trading system is an innovative way to use the Commitments of Traders reports by breaking the data into producers, consumers, and funds. By monitoring the activities of these key market participants, a trader can gain an edge by detecting position imbalances that could be a forerunner of major trend changes.
A registered commodity trading advisor, Floyd provides daily analysis of his IMPA system where he communicates with students and clients throughout the world via his website.
By understanding commercial activity and monitoring its behavior, a trader can potentially forecast significant changes in price direction. Floyd shows traders how to use the Commitments of Traders reports to accomplish this goal.
