Tis the season to be WinWayCharts – literally

Nov 30, 2021 | Charts |

Dear Traders

Happy Holidays or not given how the Markets tumbled the day US Thanksgiving. BTW, it was also the last full week of November.

Time for me to run my WinWayCharts seasonal filter on my top 2500 stocks

The filter is highly configurable and I can select which period of time, looking back from a given date to find a consistent price move up or down. I’m looking for it to repeat every year going back 7 + years.

I first came across the concept of seasonal consistency through Jay Keppel’s work JayOnTheMarkets.com and his books on Seasonal Stock Market trends. Many of you will have heard of the classic seasonal patterns like ‘Go Away in May’ or “the Santa Claus rally’. My WinWayCharts seasonal screener can find these type of events in individual stocks. Events that happen every year at the same time.

Here’s how the WinWayCharts Seasonal Screener works

How long do you usually hold a trade? I like to hold a trade for a month or less, that’s about 22 trading days.. So, I have cash available to invest Monday November 29th. All I need do is pick a date one month from that date and look for stocks that consistently made a profit over those 22 trading days, long or short, every single year going back the last 7 years. You can look back further but 7 seems to be pretty good consistency to me.

It’s that Simple

November 29th to December 29th, there were a handful of long stocks with seasonal patterns and the same on the short side. I liked the short side given the current market.

All these stocks lost money in every December for the last 7 years

I highlighted GRMN and TTEK as both on average lost over 4% in December for last 7 years.

Here’s a WinWayCharts 7 year seasonal chart of TTEK the white line is the average
Here’s a WinWayCharts 7 year seasonal chart of GRMN the white line is the average

Want to go long?

While there were no candidates in my US stocks, there were 3 UK stocks showed up. BRW-LON averaged 9.61% in December over 7 years. That’s impressive.

Here’s an WinWayCharts 7 year seasonal chart of BRW-LON the white line is the average 

Next time I’m going to start to look at the major markets in specific periods and see if we can identify seasonal patterns that are hidden under the radar of everyday noise.

How can I run a WinWayCharts Seasonal scan?

  • First download the scan from our server click here
  • Locate the file Seasonal 3 RD.EDS likely in your /download folder and move it to your /wintes32/EDS Strategies folder
  • Open WinWayCharts EDS from the Main Menu

  • Click File, Open and locate the /wintes32/EDS Strategies/Seasonal 3 RD.EDS file
  • The file is set for seasonal length of 22 days but you can change this to whatever length you wish

  • Remember the date you run the report, like in the example above is 12/31/2020, it looks back in this case 22 days, then it checks 12/31/2019 and looks back 22 days etc. There would be no point it setting the date to run the report to the current date as it would look back 22 days, and you’d have missed the seasonal candidate stocks move.
