Data & methodology

How are returns calculated?

We compare the closing price at the end of each period (month or quarter) with the closing price at the end of the previous period. The return is the percentage change. Based on historical closing prices from our data provider.

Average is the arithmetic mean of returns for each period across years. Median is the middle value. Both exclude empty cells. Use median to reduce impact of outliers.

What does the heatmap show?

Green cells indicate positive returns, red cells indicate negative returns. The darker the color, the stronger the move.

What is Win %?

Percentage of years when the period had a positive return.
