what the session range by weekday report measures
the session range by weekday report calculates daily ranges (high minus low) for the Tokyo, London, and New York sessions and groups them by weekday. it processes date, high, and low data from each session to compute average ranges per day of the week.
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 session range by weekday report aggregates session range data by weekday.
- the report calculates the session range (high minus low) for each session day across the lookback period
- it groups results by weekday (monday through friday)

- comparing weekdays reveals which days produce expanded vs compressed range
- this gives you a statistical view of which weekdays offer the most range on a given ticker
