What you can do with it

Save from any chart

Select a window on a seasonal chart, from a screener row or from a Market Cycles pivot, and add it to your watchlist in one click.

Check it before you save it

For a window of 4 to 60 days, its past-year results load as you select it, so you can check its historical record before it goes on your list.

Email alerts for your dates

Switch on email and the upcoming entry and exit dates of your seasonal and astro windows reach your inbox with 1 to 7 days’ notice, so you are not relying on remembering them.

Everything you follow, in one list

Active and upcoming windows across all your symbols in one table, with tabs by source and your own notes.

How it works

  1. Step 01

    Choose a window

    Open a symbol in the Seasonality Analyser, click the chart for the entry date and again for the exit date, and pick Long or Short. For a window of 4 to 60 days within one year, its past-year results appear before you save.

  2. Step 02

    Save it to your watchlist

    Click the bookmark icon to save the symbol, dates and direction. You can also bookmark a Seasonality Screener row or a Market Cycles pivot, and the same window cannot be saved twice.

  3. Step 03

    Turn on email

    In Settings, under Pattern Alerts, switch on email notifications, which stay off until you do. Then choose entry alerts, exit alerts or both, set advance notice from 1 to 7 days and save.

  4. Step 04

    Follow your windows

    The watchlist collects every saved window in one table. Upcoming entry and exit dates of seasonal and astro windows arrive in a weekday email sent at 07:00 UTC, with a link to add them to your calendar.

What you’ll see

The watchlist is one table of everything you saved. A separate Alerts page holds each window’s alert dates and historical levels, and once you switch email on, the alert email brings upcoming dates to your inbox.

Tabs and sorting
All, Seasonal, Astro and Cycles filter your active windows by where they were saved from, and Archived holds the ones you marked as winners or losers. Each tab shows a count, and a sort menu orders rows by date added or by entry date.
Current and Past
Rows are split into windows that are still ahead or open and windows that are over. A seasonal window moves to Past after this year’s exit date and returns to Current when the calendar year turns, or at its next entry date if it spans the new year.
Pattern
The label saved with the window. From the Seasonality Analyser it names the turning-point method selected on the chart plus the hold length. A screener row saves a label such as “Screener 30d”, and a Market Cycles pivot saves “60-Year Cycle” plus the pivot type.
Direction, Entry, Exit and Hold
Long or Short, then, for seasonal and astro rows, the entry and exit dates and Hold, the number of calendar days between them. Seasonal windows are stored as a month and day and shown with the current year, so the same window comes around every year.
Notes and row actions
Click a note to edit it. Active rows have icons to mark the window a winner or loser, which archives it, open the Alerts page or delete it. Seasonal rows can also be hidden from the Trade Calendar, where they appear by default, or opened in the Seasonality Analyser.
Archived tally
The Archived tab counts the windows you marked as winners (W) and losers (L) and shows the share marked as winners as a win rate. It reflects only your own marks, not a backtest.
Historical levels
On the Alerts page, each window has Entry Date and Exit Date rows. With a historical record, it also gets percentage levels: Average Profit, Max Profit and either Average Loss and Max Loss or, for a window that never lost, Max Drop. You can edit these or add your own.
Sent and Window closed
A green Sent badge marks an Entry Date or Exit Date row once that date has been alerted. Windows whose exit date has passed, this year’s for a seasonal window, are marked Window closed and grouped under Closed windows.
The alert email
At most one email per weekday run, split into Upcoming Entries and Upcoming Exits. Each card shows the symbol, Long or Short, the pattern label, the entry and exit dates and an Add to calendar link with all-day events for those dates. It shows no win rates or returns.

How the numbers are calculated

The watchlist stores the dates you choose. The percentages attached to a window come from its past record, and the emails follow a fixed weekday schedule once you switch them on.

A seasonal window’s historical record

Each past year is tested as one trade, from the entry date’s close to the exit date’s close, using a nearby trading day when a date falls on a weekend or holiday. The return is the percentage change between the two closes, reversed for Short. Records exist for windows of 4 to 60 days that start and end in the same calendar year, on symbols whose daily price history spans at least 10 years. Years with too little data or long gaps are left out.

The levels on the Alerts page

When you save a window, its whole record is summarized: every available year of those calendar dates for a seasonal or Market Cycles window, or the strategy’s past trades for an astro trade. A return above zero counts as a win, anything else as a loss. Average Profit is the mean win and Max Profit the best trade. With losses, Average Loss is their mean and Max Loss the worst. With none, Max Drop shows the largest move against the window’s direction, measured from entry.

When emails go out

The check runs each weekday at 07:00 UTC for accounts with email notifications on. It collects saved seasonal and astro windows whose entry or exit date falls between that day and your advance notice (1 to 7 days ahead, 1 by default) and sends one combined email. Each date is alerted at most once.

Which windows are checked

Seasonal windows saved from the Seasonality Analyser or a screener row are matched on their saved month and day, so they alert again every year, and astro trades on their fixed trade dates. Market Cycles pivots appear on your watchlist but are not checked. A saved date that falls on a weekend or market holiday is alerted as saved, while the historical record is measured on trading days.

Dates, not price targets

Emails are sent only for entry and exit dates. The percentage levels on the Alerts page, including any you add, are reference values: they are not compared with live prices and never trigger an email. The profit and loss switches in Settings only decide which levels new windows get. Levels are calculated when you save and are not updated afterwards, and windows without a stored record, such as ones over 60 days or spanning the new year, get date rows only.

Questions about Watchlist & Alerts

How do I set up email alerts for my watchlist?

Save a window to your watchlist, then open Settings and switch on email notifications under Pattern Alerts. They stay off until you do. Choose entry alerts, exit alerts or both, set advance notice from 1 to 7 days and save. These alerts are separate from the weekly Seasonality Alerts email.

How far in advance do watchlist alerts arrive?

The check runs each weekday at 07:00 UTC and covers entry and exit dates from that day up to your advance notice, which you set from 1 to 7 days (1 by default). A longer setting sends the email earlier.

Can I get an alert when a price target is hit?

No. Emails are sent only for entry and exit dates. The profit, loss and custom percentage levels on the Alerts page are historical reference values and are not checked against live prices.

Which saved windows trigger email alerts?

Seasonal windows saved from the Seasonality Analyser or a Seasonality Screener row are checked each weekday, and so are astro trades on the Astro tab. Market Cycles pivots can be saved and appear on your watchlist, but they do not trigger emails. Nothing is sent until email notifications are switched on in Settings.

Do seasonal alerts repeat every year?

Yes. A seasonal window is stored as a month and day, so its entry and exit dates are alerted again each year, at most once per date. This continues until you delete the window or switch alerts off in Settings.

Why do the Alerts page percentages differ from the Seasonality Analyser?

The Seasonality Analyser shows the last 10 years by default. The levels on the Alerts page use every available year of the window and are calculated once when you save it, rather than updated later.
