Note:

If you need help importing the Seasonal Analysis indicator into ThinkOrSwim, here is a step-by-step tutorial which walks through the entire process.

Why Seasonal Analysis is Critical to Your Trading?

Seasonal Analysis is a technique that has been used by traders in the stock market for centuries. It is the study of how events that take place annually (or at specific intervals) have an effect on prices and trends in the market. By understanding which stocks perform well during certain times of the year, traders can make more informed decisions about when to buy and sell particular stocks.

Among other things, Seasonal Analysis can help you:

  • Understand which stocks tend to do well at different times of the year. For example, many holiday-related stocks tend to rise in value between November and December.
  • Predict future price movements for a particular stock. For instance, you may be able to anticipate a stock's rise in value ahead of time by studying past seasonal trends.
  • Capitalize on recurring patterns in a variety of markets. Seasonal analysis can be used to study everything from stocks and commodities to currencies (and even cryptocurrencies).

In this tutorial, we'll build our very own Seasonal Analysis indicator for ThinkOrSwim, that automatically lets you know how a particular underlying performed, during each month.
