For many years
I have relied on two main sources of information to help me select which markets to trade, the Commitments of traders report and seasonal patterns. The commitments of traders shows me
what market movers are buying and selling, and seasonal patterns allow me to see
when this movement could occur.
Seasonal patterns allow me to
select markets to focus on before a move happens, but I have always felt there was
information within seasonal patterns that I wasn't unlocking, information that would allow me to see
when the best seasonal patterns were and not just any random pattern that has happened in the past. The downside, however, is that I haven't been able to extract this information from seasonal charts,
until now.
If we use the
seasonal chart below of GBPUSD as an example, it suggests we should be buying in January, selling in February, buying in April, buying in May, selling in June etc etc, as we follow the movement of the pattern throughout the year. If you have ever tried to use seasonal patterns you will know that its not quite as simple as that, and that's certainly something I have known for a very long time.
Some of these patterns are recurring and statically significant, but others are just the average of market movement and are no more likely to occur again than any other.
This is the information
I have wanted to unlock from seasonal charts for years, and this is the information
I now have at my fingertips. I now know for example, that there is just as good a chance of GBPUSD being down in January as there is of it being up, and the same is true for many of the other periods through the year, but I now also know that there are
periods that do consistently occur, not every year,
but 8 or 9 years out of 10, which is exactly the
kind of edge I have always wanted to get from a seasonal chart.
