For self-directed stock and ETF traders
Separate seasonal patterns from market drift.
On a stock that rose for twenty years, almost every calendar window looks like a winner. We test every weekday, month-end, holiday and calendar window across 1,456 US stocks and ETFs against holding the exact same asset for the exact same number of sessions, so market drift never fools you.

Two calendar claims. Two different results.
A positive historical return does not tell the whole story. See what remains after comparing it with ordinary holding.
How it works
Pick a symbol or type a calendar claim
Any of 1,456 US stocks and ETFs, or a date window, weekday or month you heard about.
See every year against holding
Each year beside holding the same symbol for the same number of sessions, so you can tell whether the calendar added something or the stock simply rose.
Follow what it did after the cutoff
Rules are found on prices through December 31, 2025. Every trade since Jan 1, 2026 is shown apart, on prices the rule never saw.
Entering in the next five sessions
Shortlisted rules whose next entry is near, strongest first. Each passed every filter:
- At least 15 years of history
- Beat holding in at least 80% of observed years
- Beat holding in both final research years: 2024 and 2025
- Average trade made money, gross
Excess / year is the average over the years of each year’s total excess over holding, gross. It is a sum, not compounded: not the growth of an account. Historical, hypothetical results before costs. These filters describe past consistency, not the probability of a future profit. Hypothetical performance notice.

Questions before you join
Is this investment advice or a trade alert service?
No. SeasonalEdge describes what calendar rules did on history, compared with holding the same symbol. It does not tell you what to buy or sell, and past seasonal behaviour may not repeat. Nothing here is investment advice.
Why are the figures gross?
Every return is before any trading cost, because costs differ from one trader to the next. Take your own round-trip cost off the gross figure per trade: when a round trip costs you more than the average trade made, the rule loses money.
What is the research cutoff?
Rules are found and sorted using prices through December 31, 2025 only. Everything after that date is kept apart and never used to choose a rule, so the results since Jan 1, 2026 show how each rule did on prices it never saw.
Where do the prices come from, and how fresh are they?
Daily prices from Alpha Vantage and index closes from Yahoo, refreshed after each session. The latest prices used are from November 3, 2026.
How is this different from a seasonality chart?
A seasonality chart shows a symbol’s average path or how often a window went up. On a stock that rose for years, almost every window looks good. SeasonalEdge compares each window with holding the same symbol for the same number of sessions, shows every year including the weak ones, and reports what each rule did after the cutoff, separately.
What does it cost, and do I need a card?
