what the market session breakout report measures

the market session breakout report analyzes breakout patterns between two trading sessions by comparing session highs and lows to determine if the second session breaks above the first session's high, below the first session's low, both sides, or neither.

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 market session breakout report follows this process:

1. identify the previous session's high and low price range
2. track whether the current session's price breaks above the high, below the low, both, or neither
3. classify each day as single break (high only or low only), double break, or no break
4. calculate percentages for each outcome across the selected date range
5. break down results by session pair for comparison

available subreports

the market session breakout report has 3 subreports for deeper analysis:

• by levels. measures how far beyond the previous session's range price extends after a breakout. used for setting profit targets based on historical extension data.
• by size. filters breakout data by the size of the previous session's range. smaller ranges may produce different breakout characteristics than wider ranges.
• by weekday. breaks down session breakout patterns by day of the week. different weekdays often show dramatically different breakout frequencies and directions.

how traders use market session breakout data

• targeting the prior session's high or low to break during the current session
• using other reports (like opening candle continuation or IB) for directional confluence on which side will break
• identifying which session pairs produce the most consistent breakout patterns for their trading schedule
• setting profit targets based on historical extension data from the by-levels subreport

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

results require customization, time, and effort. the numbers change depending on your ticker, session, and lookback period. always check the data for your specific conditions.
