what the asian range breakout report measures
this report analyzes price breakouts above or below the Asian trading session high/low range and correlates them with daily candle colors (green for positive daily returns, red for negative). it tracks the frequency and percentages of breakouts that result in green versus red daily candles to identify directional bias patterns after Asian range violations.
the report is available for futures, stocks, ETFs, forex, and crypto. you can filter by ticker, session (NY, London, Asian, full globex, or custom), and lookback period (1 month to 5+ years).
how the calculation works
according to edgeful data, the asian range breakout report follows a specific calculation process:
the asian range breakout report identifies the high and low of the asian trading session, then tracks what happens when price breaks beyond that range during the rest of the trading day.
- the report establishes the asian session high and low as the reference range
- it monitors subsequent price action for breaks above the high or below the low
- when a breakout occurs, it records the direction and whether the daily candle closed green or red
- percentages are calculated for how often breakouts occur in each direction and what percentage result in green vs red daily closes
- this gives you a statistical breakdown of directional bias after asian range violations
available subreports
the asian range breakout report has 3 subreports for deeper analysis:
- by close. analyzes breakout patterns from Asian trading session ranges by tracking when price first closes above or below the Asian high/low and comparing it to the daily closing price. Calculates statistics on breakout frequency and whether the daily close remains above/below the breakout level.
- by extension. calculates how much prices extend beyond Asian session highs and lows during subsequent trading sessions.
- by weekday. analyzes trading patterns when price breaks above Asian session high or below Asian session low during the rest of the trading day, categorized by weekday.
how traders use asian range breakout data

the data doesn't tell you to trade. the asian range breakout report tells you the historical performance of the setup in front of you. what you do with that information is your decision.
