Seasonal Opportunities are date ranges when a commodity has repeatedly gained predictably in the past. A seasonal opportunity could be present for a number of years; seasonality present with a higher number of years has a better chance of repeating the pattern. By default, we look at 10-year history with 9 or 10 years of profitability. We also look at seasonals anywhere from 5 to 75 years. Sometimes, seasonal tendencies are so strong that specific date ranges would be 95% predictable over more than 40 years.
