Calculations

  • TDOM (Trading Day of Month) = sequential number of the trading day within the month (1, 2, 3, ...). Decoupled from calendar days — weekends and holidays are skipped.
  • Intra-Month Curve: cumulative log-returns from last trading day of previous month (TDOM 0 = 0%). One curve per year, then averaged.
  • Solid/Weak Split: TDOMs with n<10 observations are marked as a dashed red line (statistically uncertain).
  • Detrend Indicator: Linear trend is subtracted, scaled to 0–100, midline=50. Above 50 = seasonally strong, below 50 = seasonally weak.
  • Two-Week Split: Month divided into two halves at the selected TDOM (slider 5–15). 1st = TDOM 1..X, 2nd = TDOM X+1..end.
  • Seasonal Match: Pearson correlation + DTW (Dynamic Time Warping) + t-test between current month progression and historical average.
  • Presidential Cycle: Election year / Post-election year / Midterm year / Pre-election year according to formula ((year-2020)%4+4)%4+1.
  • Momentum Check: conditional probability that the second half continues the sign of the first.
