- Treat this calendar as weak evidence. The first half of the sample and the second half rank-correlate -0.36 across the twelve months — the pattern that held early did not hold late, which is what noise looks like.
- Jul is the strongest month (edge 55/100, Moderate): median +5.46%, mean +4.09%, higher in 5 of 7 years (71%), t = 2.26, p = 0.065.
- Mar is the weakest month (edge 56/100, Moderate): median -4.89%, mean -10.98%, lower in 7 of 7 years, t = -2.03, p = 0.088.
- Best stretch of the year is Nov–Feb: median +34.18% compounded, positive in 4 of 6 seasons (67%), p = 0.069.
- Worst stretch is Feb–Apr: median -11.79% compounded, positive in only 3 of 7 seasons (43%).
- We are in Sep, historically a +0.24% median month with a 50% hit rate. Month-to-date EQGPF is +0.85% — ahead of the seasonal norm.
- Seasonal path from here: Oct +2.01% (50% hit), Oct–Dec +16.30% (67%), Oct–Mar +15.73% (83%) — medians of the compounded window return.
- The median seasonal year peaks around Dec at +20.02%, troughs around Apr at -5.66% and finishes the year at +6.83% (5 complete years).
- Best weekday is Tuesday at +0.231% a session (significant, p = 0.025); weakest is Thursday at -0.028%.
- Turn-of-month (last 3 sessions plus first 3) averages +0.019% a session against +0.119% for the rest of the month — a -0.100% daily spread across 485 sessions.
- By quarter, Q4 is the best (median +16.30%, 67% positive) and Q1 the worst (median +2.35%).
- Risk is seasonal too: Feb is the most volatile month (48.4% annualised) and Sep the calmest (18.9%); participation peaks in Mar at +140% 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.
