📢🎙️ New Episode Alert ❗ Lightspeed Investing Podcast Ep 42: Mastering Seasonal Trends, Futures, and Thesis Trading with Steven Orr 🎙️📢

In this episode, we dive deep into seasonal trading strategies, market leadership, and how external factors impact futures markets. 🎯

Here’s a breakdown of the key insights shared by Steven Orr:

📈 Seasonal Trends in Trading: 🔹 Steven shares his approach to summer trading – low volume but high volatility, making it easier to spot trends. 🔹 He explains why September is historically bad for stocks, driven by interest rates and financial markets, while fall is crucial for agriculture due to harvesting.

💻 Tech Stocks & Market Leadership: 🔹 Major tech players like Apple, Nvidia, and Google are market leaders and are poised to continue their dominance, especially with the rise of AI.

🌾 Agriculture Futures: 🔹 Steven provides a deep dive into how seasonal cycles, weather patterns, and crop yields affect the prices of commodities like corn, wheat, and soybeans.

🍖 Weight Loss Drugs & Cattle Prices: 🔹 He highlights a fascinating trend: rising demand for weight loss drugs like Eli Lilly’s Mounjaro is increasing protein demand, driving up cattle prices.

📊 Futures Trading Strategy: 🔹 Following weather patterns, seasonality, and global events like OPEC cuts are crucial in futures trading. 🔹 Steven’s strategies also consider factors like copper used in construction and oil production decisions.

💡 Trading Platforms & Tools: 🔹 Quasar Markets, a platform integrating multiple tools (AI, Season X, charting), helps traders identify trends and seasonality. It's accessible for just $15/month and tailored for stocks, futures, crypto, etc.

🔑 Trading Philosophy: 🔹 Steven believes in Thesis Trading, sticking to a strong thesis and executing without fear. 🔹 He shares the importance of starting small, scaling up as the thesis remains validated, and maintaining a winning ratio of "50 + 1" (small losses, bigger wins).

🖥️ Research & Consolidation: 🔹 Steven’s 25-screen setup underscores how complex managing trading data can be. Quasar Markets simplifies this by consolidating data, allowing traders to focus on the essentials.

🧠 Mindset & Discipline: 🔹 Confidence in your analysis is key. Steven stresses the importance of executing your thesis without seeking external validation while staying positive and disciplined throughout.
