Defining Key Seasonal Dates My work with futures markets has revealed essentially similar results to those of Merrill, and these results may be used to the distinct advantage of the day trader. Specifically, I am referring to the use of what I have termed key seasonal dates.

A key seasonal date is a date on which a given market has shown a strong tendency to close higher or lower a large percentage of the time. There are many such dates throughout the year, but not all are reliable. The larger the number of cases we have observed, the more reliable the key date.

As an example, consider the chart. It shows the daily seasonal tendency for March copper futures. As you can see, I've marked certain dates with arrows up and down. The numbers inside the squares show date, and above.
