Description
The Hybrid Seasonal System is a strategy based on the trading system designed by Markos Katsanos. In his trading system, Mr. Katsanos researches seasonal changes in the market as well as the changes in metrics such as average true range (ATR), volatility index (VIX), and volume flow indicator (VFI). Our version of the strategy adds simulated buy and sell orders based on threshold values of these metrics.
