It calculates the total returns for Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4, providing a visual representation of how different quarters have historically performed.
By using customizable time settings, traders can adjust the analysis period and examine quarterly performance patterns. The indicator uses color-coded visualization to distinguish between quarters, making it easy to identify potential seasonal trends or calendar-based market anomalies.
