Track seasonal trends

Tracking the seasonality of various items is especially easy with the 5-Year Overlay and Zero-Line Overlay Reports. They are helpful to producers by giving a good indication of when they might want to start ramping up production of certain items, or scaling them back in favor of others.

Buyers love these reports as they will help them time their purchases so that they can take the utmost advantage of the buy low, sell high principles of trading. A great planning tool.

Track volatility

The Up/Down Report lets you see changes from one time period to the next. It allows you to see how volatile the price of a selected item was over the date range selected.

A trader can also "test" certain items against the Random Lengths Composite Price for that product group or species (the broader market) to discover those items that go "against the grain," perhaps giving them opportunities to go long (or short) and make money, while his competitors retrench with the broader trend.

• Compare any item against any other item, no matter what product or species group it belongs to.
• Automatically update your report when new prices are released by leaving the End Date blank. For the most current price, just open to view or print.
• Weekly prices, and/or monthly, quarterly, or annual averages available, depending on the Report Type selected.
• Control the start and end dates on what’s displayed by selecting the date range.
• A variety of format options for color, fonts, and more allow you to customize the design to create a unique look.
• Templates let you save your custom designs to use over and over again with other reports.
• Optional weekly or monthly moving averages can provide a different perspective, smoothing out short-term fluctuations and highlighting longer-term trends or cycles.
