Seasonality - A Trading Philosophy
At Orion Futures Group, Inc. we believe that all commodities markets are affected to some extent by an annual seasonal cycle. This seasonal cycle or pattern refers to the tendency of markets to move in a given direction at certain times of the year.
The most obvious seasonals involve the grain commodities markets, where seasonal lows usually occur around harvest time when the supply is most plentiful. In soybeans for example, 70% of all seasonal tops occur between April and July, with 75% of the seasonal bottoms taking place between August and November.
Although the reasons for seasonal tops and bottoms are more obvious in agricultural commodities, virtually all futures markets experience seasonal patterns. We have certain trades that we have identified as historically "high-percentage" seasonal trades. These were selected by using state of the art computer programs, experienced traders, and what we believe to be the most advanced software in the industry today.
Seasonal listings do not constitute buy and/or sell recommendations; rather, seasonal tendencies should be used as an additional tool for traders to consider.
Each month we offer a FREE newsletter, which includes our top seasonal trading recommendations. Please request your FREE SAMPLE copy.
Seasonal trading has certain inherent limitations. No
representation is being made that any customer of Orion Futures Group has achieved profits
using seasonal trading.Seasonal tendencies may
already be factored into the prices of these commodities.
There is always a risk of loss when trading futures.
