1.   Find Trading Ideas - Every night we update our listing of Historical Winners. These are trades that have had a historical success rate of at least 85%. Use these trades as is, or test them using your own trading indicators to further refine them. In either case, these are a great starting place when looking for possible trades.

2.   Test Your Own Trades - You may already have established your own trading system or program that provides you with potential trades and entry/exit dates and points. Why not further refine your program by comparing your own system’s recommendations to our historical/seasonal research. If your program suggests a trade entry, but our historical research shows that your proposed trade has moved in the opposite direction 100% of the time, would that information not be valuable to you?

3.   Visually Search for Potential Trades - Our Chart Series feature allows you to look at a series of seasonal correlation and historical charts for potential trades. Once a potential idea is spotted, it can be further researched and refined using our Trade Analysis tools.

4.   Analyze Current Price vs. the Past - Is this year a “normal” year ? Use our correlation numbers and studies to determine how closely this year’s price is tracking against its historical trends.

5.   Use Fundamental Data to Confirm Trades - Get the full picture by comparing this year’s underlying fundamental data such as supply/demand figures against previous years. We currently track multiple sets of fundamental data for many of the contracts we cover.

6.   Improve Your Risk Management - By studying historical maximum and average drawdowns for any proposed trade, you are better informed as to where the most appropriate points are to place your stop orders.

7.   Set Your Profit Targets More Accurately - Using the historical maximum and average profits, give yourself a better idea of what to expect from your trades in terms of profit targets.

8.   Assistance in Deciding Trade Exit Dates - It has been said that it easy to put a trade on, but very difficult deciding when to take a trade off. Let our system help in your decision by automatically providing an optimized exit date for your trade, based on historical price data. By combining this with the historical profit figures, you are able to decide on your exit points based on facts, not fear.

9.   Easy Access to Market Moving Information - We have consolidated many of the major industry reports in one location, relieving you of the need to scour the web to find what you are looking for. We also publish a Report Calendar, so that you know when reports are being released, and can adjust your trading strategy as needed. In addition, for those who are trading the agricultural and energy markets, we provide a full graphical analysis of the global weather conditions and forecasts that may affect your trades.

10.   Be Part of a Trading Community - Use our Discussion Forum to get trading ideas, validate your own projections, or share your knowledge with other members.

In summary – you will be a better informed, and hopefully, more successful trader.
