The Seasonal Trigger
Summary
Just as a carpenter or mechanic must select the right tool for the right job, a trader must select the right trigger for a setup. Once seasonal setups are selected they should be arranged in date order. At the end of the trading day, before the entry date for setup, examine the stochastic to see if there has been a trigger. If the trigger is consistent with the setup and it is clear that the trigger will be maintained, then enter the order to be executed on the close of trading. Every trade has a stop-loss as it appears on the top of the seasonal historical listing. This chapter explains seasonal triggers and how to execute them; it presents a case study along with a detailed procedure.
