Market Performance by Yearly Seasons

By LuxAlgoJan 29, 2025

Market Performance by Yearly Seasons is an indicator on Vela, our next-generation charting platform, written in Pine Script®.

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 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.
