Sure Thing Commodity Trading: How Seasonal Factors Influence Commodity Prices

The authors have extensively researched the
seasonal tendencies of virtually all major
commodities going as far back as 1955. The result...over 50 empirically derived seasonal trades (on average, about one a week).
Each individual trade is provided with
commentary and clear, concise, easy to follow
rules that tell when to get in and when to get out of each trade. Each "trade" is documented with results that would have been obtained each year for all the years studied.
The net result: each and every seasonal tendency traded by the authors' rules (for the entire period) would have been highly profitable.
The commodities, where seasonal tendencies
have been isolated and specific rules formulated
are:

Cattle (5 different seasonal trades)
Copper (4 different seasonal trades)
Corn (4 different seasonal trades)
Cotton
Eggs (3 different seasonal trades)
Flax
Hogs (4 different seasonal trades)
Oats (4 different seasonal trades)
Orange Juice
Plywood
Pork Bellies (6 different seasonal trades)
Potatoes
Soybeans (8 different seasonal trades)
Soy Bean Meal (2 different seasonal trades)
Soy Bean Oil
Wheat (4 different seasonal trades)

plus...Commodity Spreads, based on seasonal tendencies in Corn, Chicago Wheat, Cattle and Pork Bellies.
