Yearly overlay for specific stock

jer99

Does anyone know of a template or any method to obtain a yearly chart (JAN - DEC) that overlays close prices each year for a specific stock for a specific time period?
i.e. take 2010 jan - dec place on chart, take 2011 and place on same chart with different color, 2012 on same chart...etc

Have a look at seasonality charts, they were introduced just over a year ago and I think they will do exactly what you are looking for. Here's a link to the documentation along with a sample chart, note you can also switch it to a performance chart or a monthly bar chart.

excellent! Just what I was looking for!

Gord, I will add to jer99's comment - excellent. Over the years, the StockCharts site has added so many features that in some cases if I haven't used them, I've forgotten about them. This is a tool I will be using. Discovering posts like this is a reason I read through the questions here at s.c.a.n. Thanks.

now, if we could scan for those stocks that historically have an 80% chance or higher for going up in the next month....

That function is undocumented, but at ChartCon I overheard a little group in the corner talking about it. So now I use it all the time. Works great! Here it is:

[group is BigWinners]

and [pop(21, close) > close*1.8]

I never heard of these scan keywords and clauses:

[group is BigWinners]

and [pop(21, close) > close*1.8]

I tried it, but it does not work.

I tried [group is BigWinners] alone and it does not work.

pop cannot be parsed.

What gives?

It's joke, Kevo. No such thing. Wish there were.
