what the green and red streaks report measures

the green and red streaks report calculates consecutive winning and losing streaks from daily, weekly, or monthly price performance. it uses close-to-close or open-to-close performance and tracks color-coded streaks (green for positive, red for negative).

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

the green and red streaks report tracks consecutive winning and losing streaks in price performance.

  • the report calculates daily performance (close-to-close or open-to-close) and classifies each period as green (positive) or red (negative)
  • it identifies consecutive streaks, tracking how many green or red days occur in a row
  • streak statistics show the longest streak, average streak length, and frequency of each streak duration
  • available on daily, weekly, or monthly timeframes
  • this helps you understand typical momentum patterns and when extended streaks historically tend to end

how traders use green and red streaks data

  • identifying momentum patterns through consecutive winning and losing streaks
  • risk management by understanding typical streak lengths and frequency
  • entry timing after extended streaks suggest potential reversal points
  • performance evaluation comparing different timeframe streak behaviors
  • portfolio allocation adjustments based on current streak duration relative to historical averages

the data doesn't tell you to trade. the green and red streaks report tells you the historical performance of the setup in front of you. what you do with that information is your decision.

trading involves risk. past performance and historical data do not guarantee future results. the statistics referenced in this post are based on historical data and may not reflect future market conditions. always trade with proper risk management.

this information is not trading advice and should be used for educational purposes only. futures, options, and forex are leveraged instruments, and carry a high degree of risk. past results are not indicative of future returns. your use of the trading observations is entirely at your own risk and it is your sole responsibility to evaluate the accuracy, completeness, and usefulness of the information.

futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. an investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardising ones' financial security or life style. only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
