- Seasonality here is suggestive, not decisive: split-half rank correlation of 0.05 across the twelve months, with 4 of 12 months keeping the same sign in both halves.
- Aug is the strongest month (edge 63/100, Moderate): median +6.68%, mean +6.44%, higher in 6 of 7 years (86%), t = 3.10, p = 0.021.
- Oct is the weakest month (edge 25/100, Noise): median -1.90%, mean -2.10%, lower in 4 of 6 years, t = -1.58, p = 0.175.
- Best stretch of the year is Aug–Jan: median +14.83% compounded, positive in 5 of 6 seasons (83%), p = 0.053.
- Worst stretch is Feb–May: median -7.12% compounded, positive in only 3 of 7 seasons (43%).
- We are in Sep, historically a +1.58% median month with a 67% hit rate. Month-to-date FOX is -2.50% — behind the seasonal norm.
- Seasonal path from here: Oct -1.90% (33% hit), Oct–Dec +1.53% (50%), Oct–Mar +5.39% (67%) — medians of the compounded window return.
- The median seasonal year peaks around Nov at +32.65%, troughs around Jan at +1.11% and finishes the year at +21.89% (5 complete years).
- Best weekday is Monday at +0.189% a session (not significant); weakest is Thursday at -0.024%.
- Turn-of-month (last 3 sessions plus first 3) averages +0.056% a session against +0.054% for the rest of the month — a +0.002% daily spread across 483 sessions.
- By quarter, Q1 is the best (median +8.74%, 83% positive) and Q2 the worst (median +0.77%).
- Risk is seasonal too: Mar is the most volatile month (39.0% annualised) and Dec the calmest (21.9%); participation peaks in Mar at +26% of the average month's volume.
- Twelve months were tested at once, so the 5% bar is really 0.0042 after a Bonferroni correction — no month clears it. With 7 seasons of data, seasonality is context, not a trade on its own.

You ask
“How does NVDA usually trade through earnings?”
It calls
→ ka.options_expected_move(NVDA)
It answers
NVDA has averaged a 9.2% absolute move on the day after earnings and closed higher 67% of the time. Two in three reactions land between −4.2% and +16.3% — the distribution is skewed right, not symmetric.
