How to use May seasonality

A stock's May seasonality is its tendency to move in a similar direction during May each year. A high win rate means the pattern has repeated reliably; the average return shows its typical size. Seasonality is one input — combine it with your own research and risk management. Learn more in our guide to seasonal analysis.
