From the heat map to the chart

When you've found a market on the heat map that looks interesting, you can then dig a little deeper and take a look at that markets full seasonal chart so you can identify the start and end dates of any seasonal move. If we use the British Pound as an example, the heat map shows that April is historically a very strong month for the currency but it doesn't tell us when that strength is expected to start. This is where referencing its seasonal chart will help you hone in on the optimum time to trade. 

With the British Pound seasonal chart below, we can see that the historical April strength typically starts around March 24th, so you should be looking for bullish price action and potential breakouts to the upside from March 17th (to give you a 'seasonal window' of one week either side of the expected date when the move could begin)
Or in the case of Gold, the heat map suggests July and August is a positive period for the metal, but again does not tell us when this period begins or ends, so the seasonal chart is vital to help nail down those details.

From the seasonal chart below, we can see that a low can form as early as June 14th but that the main strength of the move typically does not start until around July 26th. Critical information if you want to use seasonality to give your trading an edge.

Let A.I. do the hard work

If you'd skip all the time it takes to analyse the charts manually to find patterns you can always let A.I. do the hard work for you. Our seasonal software uses A.I. to pinpoint the optimum time to trade any market and will give you all the performance stats to back it up, such as the Gold 20-year pattern below, which has identified July 26th to September 6th as one of the best periods to be long the metal, with a success rate of 75%, it has been positive 15 of the last 20 years.
