Customer Reviews

Good trading method apply to seasonal

I tested most of the systems listed in the book. The result is very impressive. It has been 10 years passed, the methods are working.

1998 to 2005

I've tracked the trades since 1998, at least 1/2 still work. Momsen also shows how he came up with the trades, and explains the fundementals of why each trade should work. Illiquid markets like bellies and lumber are included. See my review of Superstar Seasonals for a detailed example of a trade. Also, as Larry Williams warns, "the trades are not over optimized".

Reliable Author

I've been using Momsen's first book "Ultra-Reliable Seasonal Trades" for years and been quite impressed. I just received "SuperStar Seasonals" and all the trades checked out. As I write this, three of the four open trades are profitable.

Outstanding systems

An excellent book that defines time periods for entering trades based on seasonal research, then provides fully disclosed technical systems for defining entry, exits, stops, and a back test of generally 20 years for each seasonal trade. Although the technical system varies slightly for each trade, the underlying concept is intermediate to long-term trend following, and some of the technical systems would be reasonably profitable even without considering seasonality, that is just the icing on the cake. Highly recommended, I'm repeating the back testing and anxious to start trading some of these systems.

Works for me

Momsen's methods are one of my two prime trading systems. They check out on Tradestation and are making money for me real-time. Doubtlessly one of the best seasonality books there is.
