FAQs
-
What are seasonal trading strategies?Seasonal trading strategies are investment methods that take advantage of patterns and trends that tend to happen at specific times of the year. For instance, some stocks might do better in the winter because of holiday shopping, while certain crops might change in price depending on when they are harvested. By understanding these patterns, we try to improve our profits. It is important to mention, that there is never a guarantee, that patterns we learned from the past will happen again in the future.
-
What is the risk of seasonal strategies?Seasonal strategies involve taking advantage of predictable patterns and trends that occur at specific times of the year. The main risk with seasonal trading is that these patterns may not always repeat as expected, leading to potential losses. Market conditions can change due to unforeseen events, making it difficult to rely solely on historical patterns. Additionally, frequent trading can incur higher transaction costs and taxes, which can eat into profits.
-
How do seasonal strategies account for economic events?Seasonal strategies take into account economic events by looking at historical data to find patterns that happen at certain times each year. Traders use this information to guess how these patterns might be affected by current economic situations, like changes in interest rates or inflation. By keeping up with what's happening in the economy, traders can tweak their strategies to fit the current market better. This helps them decide when to buy or sell, aiming to boost profits while handling risks from unexpected economic changes.
-
What is the average return for these strategies?The average return for seasonal trading strategies can change a lot based on the market and the specific seasonal patterns used. Typically, these strategies can give higher yearly returns than just buying and holding stocks, especially if you correctly identify and use the patterns. Also, the success rate for seasonal strategies is often pretty good, meaning more of the trades tend to make money.
-
Do the strategies include entry and exit points?Yes. The strategies have an entry day and exit day.
-
Are these strategies suitable for beginners?Generally, yes, seasonal trading strategies can be suitable for beginners. However, it's important to understand exactly what you're buying. If you decide to use ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds), you should know how they work and how to choose the right one for your needs. Additionally, some of our guides include short trading patterns. This means you need to understand how to execute short trades and be aware of the risks involved, such as the potential for unlimited losses if the market moves against you. Other than these considerations, the strategies are fairly easy to implement and can be a good way to start trading with a structured approach.
-
What markets do these strategies cover?You can find this information in the titles of our ebooks. For instance, our Nasdaq 100 guide applies patterns specifically to the Nasdaq 100 index, while our platinum guide focuses on patterns for the platinum commodity.
-
Can I use these strategies for both stocks and commodities?Yes, we personally use these strategies across all our guides for both the stock market and commodities to spread the risk.
-
What tools do I need to implement these Strategies?First an most important, you need an account with a broker. This is essential for buying and selling financial instruments like stocks, ETFs, or commodities. Ideally you have a margin account with a broker, that also allows short selling. If you're using ETFs, you'll need a tool to help you find the right ones. This involves understanding how ETFs work and selecting those that align with your investment goals. If you're using other financial instruments, you'll need resources to help you make informed decisions about what to buy and how to invest in specific markets. We also use a calendar app to remind us when to buy or sell for each seasonal trade. This helps ensure that you don't miss important trading opportunities based on seasonal patterns.
-
Can I use these strategies for day trading?It's a bit more complicated, but knowing whether to expect a bull market or a bear market can definitely influence your trading strategy. While we don't yet sell strategies specifically for this, understanding market trends can help you make better day trading decisions.
-
How do I manage risk using these strategies?One way we personally manage risk is by trading multiple seasonal patterns at the same time, which helps spread out the risk. We stick to the trades from the start day to the end day without exiting early using a stop loss. This approach allows us to ride out the entire pattern without reacting to short-term market fluctuations. Another option is to use a stop-loss order. For example, you could set your stop-loss value based on the maximum drop observed in the past (which you can see in our guides), if you're comfortable with that level of risk. These are just two examples, and there's plenty of room for creativity in how you manage risk. We are more than happy to learn how you are managing your risk.
-
Can the strategies be used in international markets?Yes, the patterns can be applied to all the markets covered in our guides. We believe these strategies can also be effective in many other markets beyond those we currently offer.
