Planting & Harvesting SeasonsHello all,
as a commodity trader, I use a lot of seasonal patterns in my analysis. Some time ago, I came up with the idea to develop a simple script that visually overlays the typical planting and harvesting periods for key agricultural futures directly on the chart.
This script automatically detects the underlying commodity based on the symbol (e.g. ZC, ZW, ZS, CT) and displays color-coded zones for each seasonal window. These zones are based on historical crop calendars and help identify when planting or harvesting typically takes place. The goal is to better align technical setups with fundamental seasonal factors.
This is a basic version and meant as a visual aid — not a trading signal in itself.
Hope you enjoy it and any feedback is highly appreciated!
