what the opening stats report measures

the opening stats report analyzes where each day's open falls relative to the previous day's high-low range. it calculates statistics for three categories: opens above the previous high, opens inside the previous range, and opens below the previous low.

the report is available for futures, stocks, ETFs, forex, and crypto. you can filter by ticker and session (NY, London, Asian, full globex, or custom).

how the calculation works

the opening stats report compares today's open to a set of reference levels.

• the report pulls the latest opening price for the chosen session
• it compares that open to yesterday's high, yesterday's low, yesterday's close, and the midnight open
• each comparison is classified (above, below, inside the prior range, etc.)
• the result is a quick overview of the day's opening location
• this gives you a snapshot of which other reports — gap fill, outside days, ICT opening retracement — are most relevant for the current session

how traders use opening stats data

• a quick pre-market reference to identify the day's setup
• routing into the right deeper reports based on opening location
• confirming whether today is a gap day, outside day, or inside-the-range day at a glance
• pairing with the what's in play dashboard for full pre-market context
• risk management by recognizing the day's structural starting point

the data doesn't tell you to trade. the opening stats 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.
