For me, one of the neatest things about being involved in the futures industry is the study of futures markets trading history. The longer I am in this business (now in my 41st year), the more I look to history for clues that will help me gain that all-important trading edge.
Some in the futures industry are busy cramming raw data into big spreadsheets on high-powered computers to find mathematical correlations or produce some other type of statistical analysis, in hopes of finding the “Holy Grail” of trading.
