It is widely used in the United States as it provides a platform for investors to enter into long-term investment activities. The Dow Jones Index, also known as the Dow Jones Transport Average, is the basis of all futures contracts. It is calculated by the Dow Jones Hub and is widely used for market prediction and strategy.

Although not a predictor, this annual pattern may be consistent enough not to bet against. </p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://optimusfutures.com/tradeblog/archives/futures-trading-christmas-rally/%20">Trading Futures During the Holidays | Positioning Yourself for the Potential Year End Christmas Rally</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://optimusfutures.com/tradeblog">Futures Day Trading Strategies</a>.</p> <div class='yarpp-related-rss'> <h3>Related posts:</h3> <div class="yarpp-thumbnails-horizontal"> <a class='yarpp-thumbnail' rel='norewrite' href='https://optimusfutures.com/tradeblog/archives/futures-trading-setups/%20' title='Futures Trading Setups for Quick Targets | Recurring High Probability Trades'> <span class="yarpp-thumbnail-default"><img src="https://www.optimusfutures.com/tradeblog/wp-content/plugins/yet-another-related-posts-plugin/images/default.png" alt="Default Thumbnail" data-pin-nopin="true" /></span><span class="yarpp-thumbnail-title">Futures Trading Setups for Quick Targets | Recurring High Probability Trades</span></a> <a class='yarpp-thumbnail' rel='norewrite' href='https://optimusfutures.com/tradeblog/archives/market-replay/%20' title='Market Replay | How to Practice Your Futures Trading Strategy Risk-Free'> <span class="yarpp-thumbnail-default"><img src="https://www.optimusfutures.com/tradeblog/wp-content/plugins/yet-another-related-posts-plugin/images/default.png" alt="Default Thumbnail" data-pin-nopin="true" /></span><span class="yarpp-thumbnail-title">Market Replay | How to Practice Your Futures Trading Strategy Risk-Free</span></a> </div> </div>
