Andy, it's great to see all the right questions being asked about this 
less-well known strategy.  :)

Seasonality is always dynamic, and as you have pointed out, the 
semiconductor sector seems to be more dynamic than most.

Part of the "LookAhead" kit will incorporate a seasonal dynamic 
momentum plot, which is basically the difference between the last 
seasonal and the previous one.  This seasonal momentum will show not 
only the direction of the dynamic element, but strength/acceleration 
as well.

Both the seasonal and momentum seasonal will be able to be plotted for 
up to a year ahead, and this also means that "hindsight" indicators 
such as ZigZag/Peaks/Troughs can be applied to it and remain valid 
almost all the way up to the year ahead.

I'll begin putting up some "live" seasonal sample charts up within the 
next few weeks, when I have finalized some aspects of the LookAhead 
kit.  This kit may help traders rethink (the word 'revolutionize' 
comes to mind) their current strategy, and it's taking some time & 
effort to get it to the point where the whole concept can be easily 
understood & applied in MetaStock.

Jose,
That's quite an accomplishment once it's done. There are so many 
variables to look at if you want to predict seasonality. What about 
cases such as the semiconductor industry where the cyclic boom/bust 
cycle is getting shorter and shorter with each passing cycle... When 
can put some sample charts on your website?

Good question.
The "LookAhead" kit will be able to extract seasonal biases in any 
market sectors for up to a year ahead.  Any regular sector 
rotations will show up clearly in the seasonal charts.

Other than Sam Stovall's theoretical model, I don't see any 
seasonal predictions at
http://stockcharts.com/charts/performance/SPSectors.html
... but their relative strength comparisons look very similar to 
the URSC kit's

Jose,

Any chance it will include sector cycling/rotation (or is that 
the same as seasonal biases with respect to your kit)?

Seasonality is something that I've been working on for the past 
four years.
Believe me - it is no easy task to implement in MetaStock.  I use 
a custom-made application to extract the necessary data.

I hope to finalize a seasonal kit for MetaStock sometime in the 
next month or so.  It will plot seasonal biases for any chart,
up to a year ahead.

Could someone point me in the right direction to code for a 
seasonality graph?  That is, combining prices or perhaps a rate 
of change in prices to come up with yearly, monthly or weekly 
seasonal charts.  Any help and or suggestions would be 
appreciated.
Thanks
