The Friday Seasonality in USO (oil)
| December 10, 2012 | Posted by Oddmund Grotte under trading topics |
One famous seasonality in the oil market is the tendency for the oil price to rise on fridays. However, it seems like just buying on any thursday’s close is not such a good idea. It works better if thursday is a down day.
I get the following result if buying on the close of a thursday if USO falls at least 0.75 times the 25 day average of the H-L (high minus low) and exit on fridays close:
| P/L in % | #fills | #wins | Avg. |
| 56.96 | 98 | 60 | 0.58 |
Data is from inception in april 2006 until present.
Here is the equity chart:
All other days seems to be more of a random pattern.
