How To Use Seasonal Patterns In Your Online Trading
Seasonal patterns are based on the fact as to why the online trading market rallies or falls during a given period. Seasonal helps to identify when big moves are most likely to occur; this done by analyzing how many times a market tops or bottoms in a given month and what is the most likely time for these tops and bottoms.
Applying Seasonal Trading
To trade this, one must have an understanding of the dynamics of the
online trading
market in various seasons. For example, Seasonal price patterns in the grain markets exist because of the fear of crop damage on the long side and relief that the danger has passed on the short side. Examining how
grain markets
are affected by weather shows that corn is more weather-sensitive than soybeans, particularly at certain times of the year. From this information, it's likely that seasonal weather patterns are more reliable in corn than in soybeans.
Developing seasonal theories requires understanding how a given market works and, in the case of agricultural markets, how a given crop grows and in the case of festival seasons, how the stocks perform.
When testing the patterns, first develop a theory and then fine-tune a seasonal idea by testing different periods within a range based on the theory. The graph explains that Dow Jones stocks normally witness upswing because of the Christmas rally.
Long-term seasonal patterns that last a month or two are usually more reliable and easier to explain than shorter seasonal patterns. This is because long-term patterns are more likely to be based on an underlying fundamental cause.
