# Market Performance by Yearly Seasons

Market Performance by Yearly Seasons is an indicator on [Vela](https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart), our next-generation charting platform, written in Pine Script®.

Market Performance by Yearly Seasons charts an asset's average return in each of the four seasons across a decade of history, highlighting the current season for instant orientation. Hemisphere selection plus meteorological or astronomical boundaries keep the seasonal frame accurate, and a raw per-year view separates repeatable patterns from outliers.

**Market Performance by Yearly Seasons** turns calendar tendencies into a chart you can interrogate: bar charts of average returns for each of the four seasons over a 10-year period, with the current season highlighted for immediate orientation. Where [month-of-year seasonality](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/month-of-year-seasonality/) slices the year twelve ways, this indicator works at the season level: four broad windows whose boundaries you control, hemisphere included.

## How to Trade the Market Performance by Yearly Seasons?

- **Scan the averages**: the default view shows each season's average return, quickly revealing which parts of the year have historically leaned bullish or bearish for the asset.
- **Check the consistency**: switch the display to raw returns by season and year to see whether an average reflects a repeatable pattern or a single outsized year.
- **Match your hemisphere**: Northern and Southern selections swap which season each calendar window is assigned to, so the season names line up with your market's calendar.
- **Pick the season definition**: meteorological seasons follow whole months while astronomical seasons start at equinoxes and solstices. The choice changes which days count.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What separates meteorological from astronomical seasons?

Meteorological winter runs December through February, with the other seasons following in three-month blocks; astronomical seasons begin at solstices and equinoxes, winter starting December 21. Switching types reassigns the edge days and can nudge each season's figures.

### Is this suited to short-term or long-term trading?

Both: [seasonality tooling](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/seasonality-tooling/) of this kind usually provides context rather than triggers. Max Seasons and the display modes adapt the study to either horizon, and the [Seasonality Chart](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/seasonality-chart/) makes a fine companion for a different cut of the calendar.
