Market Seasonality


One of the most up-to-date seasonal databases available anywhere online, with our unique seasonal pattern confirmation.


Seasonality is the study of a market over time to establish if there is a regular and predictable change that occurs within that markets price every calendar year. Every market experiences periods of either greater supply or demand throughout a year, and it is these forces that drive seasonal patterns. Seasonality allows us to establish these periods to give us an indication ahead of time, how a market could perform in the future.  


Remember, a seasonal pattern gives us a bias for a market but this should be backed up with our CoT data to give the best signals.

Our members have access to the Seasonal charts (Just like British Pound example below) for over 40 major markets and are extremely powerful when combined with our CoT data. E.g. If a markets seasonal pattern indicates a price rally is possible in the coming months and we can see strong buying is taking place in that market through our CoT data, it is a very good indication that its seasonal pattern will ring true again this calendar year.

Our seasonal charts database is one of the most complete available online, with charts containing more history and more up-to-date markets than anywhere else. Our charts also contain our very own unique 'weighted average seasonal pattern', which we created to help monitor the the changing characteristics of each market over time. It is based on the study of each market over 4 time periods (where data allows), 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, and the complete available history.

An average is then taken from these 4 periods, creating a seasonal average that is more weighted and responsive to the price movement in recent years. By doing this we can see if a markets seasonal pattern is changing over time and if so, ensure our trading evolves with that market. Looking at any market over just one time period in isolation, can be very misleading.
