Thanks Jose.

 

Along the same lines, but on a more simplistic level, can metastock  display returns for a security for a more static time frame such as Q1 or the month of May each year over say the last 10 years?

Gary, seasonality is dynamic - i.e. it changes from year to year,
sometimes in a predictable way.  A 10-year avg may not be that useful.

Seasonality is very interesting, but not so easy to implement
(properly) in MetaStock.  I've personally already spent 100's of hours
and serious $ in third-party programming, but I'm only half-way to a
release of a useful seasonality kit for MetaStock.
