SeasonalityCharts.com publishes historical market statistics for education and research. Nothing on this site is investment, financial, trading, legal or tax advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security, option, future or other instrument.
Historical data, not a forecast
Every chart, table, heatmap, average, win rate and statement on this site describes what prices did in the past. Seasonal patterns are averages over a limited number of years. Any single year can differ completely from the average, and a pattern that held for decades can stop working without warning. Past performance does not guarantee or predict future results.
Hypothetical and back-tested results
Some articles show what would have happened if someone had bought or sold during a historical seasonal window. These examples are hypothetical. They are calculated after the fact from closing prices, ignore commissions, taxes, slippage, bid-ask spreads, dividends and borrowing costs, and benefit from hindsight in choosing the window. No real money was traded, and real results would have been different and usually worse. Hypothetical results have inherent limitations and should never be taken as evidence that a strategy will be profitable.
Data accuracy
Prices come from third-party sources and are processed automatically. Data can be delayed, incomplete, adjusted after the fact (for example for splits) or simply wrong. We check the data, but we do not guarantee that any figure is accurate, complete or current. Always verify prices and figures with your broker or another authoritative source before acting.
Trading involves risk
Trading and investing involve substantial risk, including the loss of all money invested. Options, futures, leveraged and inverse products, short selling and margin can lose more than the amount invested, and losses can happen quickly. Only trade with money you can afford to lose, and make sure you understand the instrument and its risks.
Do your own due diligence
You are solely responsible for your own investment and trading decisions. Do your own research, consider your financial situation, objectives and risk tolerance, and consult a licensed financial adviser, tax professional or attorney before making any decision. Seasonality is, at most, one input among many.
