The problem
- Gold front-loads its year. Indices have dead months. You're not filtering for either.
- A "seasonal chart" you can read but can't actually trade off.
- Eyeballing a curve is not the same as filtering your dataset.
How Orbit fixes it
- Click two points on the curve — measure that window across every year in history.
- Promote it to a recurring filter. Every panel reshapes around it.
- Stack up to five windows. Skip the seasons that don't pay you.
