Quantitative / Seasonality / Diversified
Loblolly Trading was founded by Mike Walsh and Patrick Matthews with the goal of providing clients access to a systematic, sea-
sonality-driven trading program.
At its core, the program analyzes long-term seasonal patterns across global futures markets and then applies multiple quantitative
filters to validate or reject each opportunity. This combination of historical seasonality, rule-based confirmation signals, and strict
risk controls forms the backbone of the strategy. The program trades a diversified set of markets, including grains, meats, softs,
metals, energies, interest rates, and currencies. Position sizing and market participation are determined by a proprietary risk mod-
el that ensures exposures remain within predefined constraints. The system is free to allocate capital dynamically across markets,
but it will forgo otherwise attractive trades if the initial risk exceeds acceptable levels. This disciplined approach is designed to
preserve capital, reduce volatility, and capture repeatable seasonal tendencies across asset classes.
