Seasonality Menu

The Seasonality menu is a macro-analysis tool designed to evaluate the historical, recurring performance trends of specific financial assets over set periods.

The Seasonality tool is located in the left-hand navigation sidebar under the MACRO category, positioned alongside other macroeconomic dashboards such as Economic, Forex, Crypto, Bonds, Commodities, and Calendar.

Interface & Controls

The top control bar provides the necessary inputs to query historical seasonal data:

  • Asset Input Field: A text box allowing users to input the ticker symbol of the desired asset or index (e.g., SPY).
  • Load Button ([ LOAD ]): Executes the query to fetch and display the seasonal data for the specified asset.
  • Timeframe Toggles: Two quick-select buttons used to define the historical look-back period for the seasonality calculation:
    • 5Y (5-Year Historical Data)
    • 10Y (10-Year Historical Data)

Available Data Views

Based on the header breadcrumbs (monthly_returns • seasonal_path), the tool is divided into specific analytical views:

  • Monthly Returns: Likely displays the average historical performance of the asset broken down by calendar month.
  • Seasonal Path: Likely provides a charted trajectory showing the asset's typical price action across a standard calendar year based on historical averages.
