Out-of-sample Sharpe ratios, fifteen commodity futures, January 2016 to December 2024, 108 months, costs at 8.6 basis points one way. Across 500 bootstrap paths with within-family Holm correction, none of the eighteen paired Sharpe tests rejects, with adjusted p values from 0.192 to 1.000.

Seasonal tables for corn, gas and gold circulate every year. The one peer-reviewed positive result is marginal by its own authors' description, and a 2026 test on 2016 to 2024 across fifteen futures rejects nothing after multiple-testing correction.
