How can I use negative seasonality in FYERS Seasonality Screeners?
Negative Year %: indicates the percentage of historical years in which the instrument delivered a negative return for the period shown.
For example, if a stock has 10 years of observations and a Negative Year % of 70%, it means the stock delivered a negative return during that period in 7 out of 10 years.
A negative Avg. Return indicates that the average return across all historical observations for that period was below zero.
For example, if the results show:
- No. of Years: 10
- Negative Year %: 70%
- Avg. Return: -3%
It means the period ended negatively in 7 out of 10 historical years, while the average return across all 10 observations was -3%.
Using negative seasonality for F&O stocks
Negative seasonality can help narrow down F&O stocks for further bearish analysis.
For example, if an F&O stock shows a high Negative Year % along with a negative Avg. Return for a particular month, it indicates that the stock has historically shown recurring negative performance during that period.
You can then evaluate the stock using its current price trend, technical indicators, market conditions, and other relevant factors before considering an F&O strategy.
What If...
| Scenario | What you should know |
|---|---|
| Negative Year % is high but Avg. Return is only slightly negative | Negative returns occurred frequently, but the average historical decline was relatively small. |
| Negative Year % is low but Avg. Return is strongly negative | Negative returns occurred less frequently, but larger declines in some years may have lowered the average return. |
| Negative Year % is 100% | All historical observations considered for that period were negative. This does not mean the current period will necessarily be negative. |
| Current price movement differs from the seasonal pattern | Current market conditions can differ from historical patterns. Seasonality should be used as additional context for analysis. |
