What is market seasonality?

Market seasonality is the historical pattern of returns across calendar buckets — months, days of the month, weeks of the month, days of the week, or trading days of the year. It answers "where in the calendar are we, historically?" by averaging the period's return across the years that fall inside a chosen window. It is descriptive of the past, not predictive of the future.

How do you compute average return for a seasonality cell?

For each (unit, period_bucket, window) row, we take the unit's realized return for that period in each year that falls inside the window and average them arithmetically. A "January for ^GSPC over the last 20 years" cell averages the 20 individual January full-month returns. Daily returns are adjusted-close-based; period returns are compounded from daily returns inside the bucket.

What does win_rate mean in a seasonality table?

win_rate is the fraction of contributing years whose period return was strictly greater than zero. A win_rate of 0.70 over 20 years means 14 of the 20 years were positive in that period and 6 were not. Years that closed exactly flat do not count as wins.

Does TickerStance seasonality account for survivorship bias?

Indexes (^GSPC, ^NDX, ^RUT, ^DJI) and sector SPDR ETFs are single-ticker series and carry no survivorship bias. Fama-French 49 industries and individual tickers are survivorship-biased: the universe contains only tickers still listed and still in Massive's coverage today, so failed-and-delisted companies are absent and aggregates lean optimistic — especially in windows that included the 2000–2002 dot-com bust, 2008–2009 GFC, and 2020-03 COVID shock.

How far back does the data go?

Indexes and sector ETFs reach roughly 25 to 30 years from the yfinance one-shot seed. Fama-French 49 industries and individual tickers reach roughly 10 years from Massive, with a planned upgrade to 20 years. The 30-year window toggle is therefore meaningful for indexes and ETFs only until the Massive history upgrade lands.

Can I use seasonality as a trading signal?

No. TickerStance reports historical patterns, not forecasts. A positive average return in a calendar bucket says only that the period has tended to be positive across the available history — the dispersion across years is wide, market structure changes between cycles, and the survivorship caveat on stock-level layers tilts averages upward. Pair seasonality context with the regime read (Stance) and your own risk plan; do not use it as a standalone trigger.

How often is the seasonality data recomputed?

Monthly, on the first of each month after US market close, via a dedicated systemd timer on the VPS. Daily recompute would only shift averages by parts per million and is not worth the work. On-demand recompute is available via pnpm seasonality:recompute when a backfill changes the underlying daily_bars history.

METHODOLOGY

Daily returns are adjusted-close-based.
FF49 buckets use Fama-French 49-industry SIC ranges (Kenneth French data library).
Sectors use SPDR ETF series, not synthetic constituent baskets.
Seasonality is contextual, not predictive. We report conditions, never recommend trades.
