Most people like talking about a good outlier story: Can you believe bitcoin is up over 1,000% since the start of 2019? Did you see WTI crude oil futures went negative last year? How crazy was that rally in GameStop from below $20 to above $400 in a matter of weeks?

To invest is basically to put money into the expectation of a return in future. That means, to invest implies having an asset or piece of property with the intention of making a profit from the investment through the increase in the market value of that asset or price over a definite period of time.

Timing and position sizing is key along with risk management, should the seasonal occurrence not materialize. 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>
