Index Statistics and Session Stage Evaluation
Technique & Performance Information
Introduction
Index Statistics and Session Stage Evaluation is a MetaTrader 4 indicator designed particularly for buying and selling inventory indices. In contrast to foreign exchange pairs that commerce 24/5, inventory indices have outlined buying and selling classes with official open and shut instances. This indicator filters all calculations to concentrate on official session knowledge, offering cleaner statistics and extra related value ranges.
Why Session-Based mostly Evaluation Issues
Most brokers present steady value feeds for indices, together with in a single day knowledge. Nonetheless, the official money market session is the place institutional exercise happens. This indicator:
- Calculates shifting averages utilizing solely session candles
- Tracks highs/lows inside session boundaries
- Gives separate session vs every day statistics
- Analyses hole behaviour based mostly on session closes
Core Options
Worth Stage Strains
Session Ranges:
- At present’s Open – The opening value of the present session
- Earlier Shut – Yesterday’s session closing value
- Earlier Session Excessive/Low – Yesterday’s session extremes
Day by day Ranges:
- Earlier Day by day Excessive/Low – D1 candle extremes (might differ from session if in a single day strikes occurred)
Weekly Ranges:
- Final Week Excessive/Low – Key weekly help/resistance
Dynamic Ranges:
- At present’s Excessive/Low – Updates all through the session
- Globex Excessive/Low – Pre-market vary (elective)
Session Markers
- Vertical traces at session open and shut
- Numbered candles from session open (1, 2, 3…)
- Bar 18 highlighted (statistically vital level)
Bias Detection
Identifies market management based mostly on consecutive sturdy closes:
- “Bulls in Management” – A number of bullish candles closing close to highs
- “Bears in Management” – A number of bearish candles closing close to lows
- “Potential Vary” – No clear directional sample
Session Shifting Common
A shifting common calculated utilizing solely session candles, ignoring in a single day knowledge that may distort the calculation.
Understanding Gaps
Inventory indices hole between classes. The distinction between yesterday’s shut and in the present day’s open creates alternatives:
- Hole Up: At present opens above yesterday’s shut
- Hole Down: At present opens beneath yesterday’s shut
Gaps usually act as magnets – value incessantly returns to “fill” the hole. The statistics panel reveals traditionally how usually gaps fill.
Hole Measurement Significance
The indicator expresses hole measurement as a share of Common Day by day Vary (ADR):
- Small hole (<20% ADR): Extra more likely to fill
- Medium hole (20-40% ADR): Average fill likelihood
- Massive hole (>40% ADR): Could point out information; much less predictable

Bull: 37 (37.0%)
Bear: 45 (45.0%)
Inside: 7 (7.0%)
Exterior: 8 (8.0%)
Streak: 2 Bull
ASR(14): 208.62
Identical evaluation as D1 however utilizing solely session knowledge. ASR (Common Session Vary) is usually smaller than ADR and extra related for intraday targets.
SESSION GAP STATS
=== SESSION GAP STATS === At present: Down 28.80 % of Sess ADR: 14% % of Day by day ADR: 13% Avg Hole Up: 82.35 Avg Hole Down: 86.00 Hole Ups Closed: 65% (39/60) Hole Downs Closed: 63% (25/40)
What it reveals:
- At present’s hole route and measurement in factors
- Hole measurement as share of ADR
- Historic common hole sizes
- Proportion of gaps that stuffed throughout session
Find out how to use:
- Examine in the present day’s hole to common
- Excessive shut % favours hole fade trades
- Small gaps fill extra reliably than massive gaps
SIMILAR GAP +/-X%
=== SIMILAR GAP +/-15% (24) ===
Related Gaps Closed: 79%
Avg Hole Shut: Candle 8
Hit Prev Sess Excessive: 67% (16/24)
Hit Prev Sess Low: 42% (10/24)
Hit Prev Day by day Excessive: 58% (14/24)
Hit Prev Day by day Low: 38% (9/24)
Hit Globex Excessive: 54% (13/24)
Hit Globex Low: 46% (11/24)
This part finds historic days with gaps just like in the present day (similar route, inside ±15% of hole measurement as % of ADR).
What it reveals:
- Variety of matching days discovered
- What share of comparable gaps stuffed
- Common candle quantity when hole stuffed
- Proportion that reached every key degree
Find out how to use:
That is highly effective for probability-based buying and selling:
- 80%+ hole shut charge = excessive likelihood fade
- Avg Hole Shut tells you WHEN to anticipate the fill
- “Hit” percentages present which ranges are possible targets
- Low “Hit” share = do not anticipate that degree in the present day
Instance: Related gaps present 79% closed by candle 8. In case you’re at candle 12 with no fill, odds are lowering.
OPEN INSIDE/ABOVE/BELOW
=== OPEN BELOW (12) ===
Hit Prev Sess Excessive: 0% (0/12)
Hit Prev Sess Low: 42% (5/12)
Hit Prev Day by day Excessive: 0% (0/12)
Hit Prev Day by day Low: 67% (8/12)
Hit Prev Shut: 17% (2/12)
Hit Globex Excessive: 8% (1/12)
Hit Globex Low: 58% (7/12)
Analyses based mostly on the place in the present day opened relative to yesterday’s session vary:
- OPEN INSIDE: Between yesterday’s excessive and low
- OPEN ABOVE: Above yesterday’s session excessive
- OPEN BELOW: Beneath yesterday’s session low
Find out how to use:
Open place is a robust filter:
- OPEN BELOW with 0% Hit Prev Sess Excessive = do not maintain longs anticipating new highs
- OPEN ABOVE with low Hit Prev Sess Low = pullbacks could also be shallow
- Use “Hit” percentages to set reasonable targets
SIMILAR GAP + OPEN
=== SIMILAR GAP + OPEN (8) ===
Related Gaps Closed: 88%
Avg Hole Shut: Candle 6
Hit Prev Sess Excessive: 25% (2/8)
Hit Prev Sess Low: 75% (6/8)
Hit Prev Day by day Excessive: 13% (1/8)
Hit Prev Day by day Low: 88% (7/8)
Hit Prev Shut: 50% (4/8)
Hit Globex Excessive: 25% (2/8)
Hit Globex Low: 75% (6/8)
Probably the most refined evaluation – combines BOTH comparable hole AND similar open place. This finds probably the most instantly comparable historic days.
Find out how to use:
Smaller pattern measurement however highest relevance:
- 88% hole closed = very excessive likelihood fade
- Candle 6 common = anticipate fill inside half-hour (M5)
- 75% hit earlier session low = possible goal
- 25% hit earlier session excessive = do not anticipate it
The Bar 18 Idea
Statistical evaluation reveals that by bar 18 (roughly 90 minutes on M5), the market has usually established 80% of its every day vary. The indicator highlights bar 18 to warn you when this threshold approaches. There’s a excessive likelihood that the every day excessive or low is already established at this level.
Buying and selling implication: After bar 18, excessive new highs or lows change into much less possible. Fade strikes towards new extremes after this level.
Studying Likelihood Information
When deciphering “Hit” percentages:
- 70%+ = Excessive likelihood, anticipate this degree to be reached
- 50-70% = Average likelihood, doable however not sure
- 30-50% = Decrease likelihood, do not depend on it
- <30% = Unlikely, do not anticipate this degree in the present day
At all times evaluate the pattern measurement (quantity in parentheses). Bigger samples present extra dependable statistics.
Buying and selling Methods
Technique 1: Excessive-Likelihood Hole Fade
Setup:
- Related Gaps Closed 70%+
- SIMILAR GAP + OPEN confirms with comparable or larger share
- Bias not strongly in opposition to fade route
Entry:
- Hole up: Quick close to open or after small push larger
- Hole down: Lengthy close to open or after small dip
Goal: Earlier shut (hole fill)
Cease: Past Globex excessive/low or in the present day’s excessive
Administration: Use Avg Hole Shut candle as timing information. If hole normally fills by candle 8 and also you’re at candle 15, contemplate exiting.
Technique 2: Pattern Day Recognition
Setup:
- Massive hole (>30% ADR)
- Bias matches hole route
- Open place is ABOVE (hole up) or BELOW (hole down)
- Related Hole + Open reveals LOW hole shut % (<40%)
Entry: Commerce with hole route after pullback to session MA
Goal:
- Hole up: Earlier every day excessive
- Hole down: Earlier every day low
- Examine “Hit” percentages to verify likelihood
Cease: Beneath MA or day’s low/excessive
Technique 3: Bar 18 Vary Fade
Setup:
- Bar 18 approaching
- Notice present session excessive and low
- Calculate if 80% of ASR achieved
Entry: Fade strikes towards new extremes after bar 18
Rationale: New extremes after 80% vary completion are statistically much less possible.
Technique 4: Weekly Stage Bounce
Setup:
- Worth approaches final week’s excessive or low
- D1 BARS reveals present pattern context
- Rejection candle sample at degree
Entry: Fade at weekly degree with affirmation
Goal: Earlier shut or in the present day’s open
Cease: Past weekly degree by 0.5x ASR
Technique 5: Open Place Edge
Setup:
- Examine OPEN part for sturdy edge
- Instance: OPEN BELOW reveals 0% Hit Prev Sess Excessive
Entry:
- If 0% hit upside goal, quick any rally with confidence
- If excessive % hit draw back goal, goal that degree for shorts
Rationale: Historic knowledge reveals what’s reasonable for any such day.
Combining A number of Components
The strongest trades happen when a number of components align:
- Hole Evaluation: What does Related Hole say about fill likelihood?
- Open Place: Does this help or contradict?
- Mixed Information: What does Related Hole + Open present?
- Present Bias: Is intraday momentum aligned?
- Key Ranges: Which ranges have excessive “Hit” likelihood?
Instance Setup:
- Hole down 14% ADR
- Related Gaps: 82% closed, avg candle 7
- Open Beneath earlier vary
- Related Hole + Open: 88% closed, 75% hit earlier every day low
- Bias: Bears in Management
Commerce: Quick rallies, goal earlier every day low, anticipate hole fill inside 35 minutes. Do not anticipate yesterday’s excessive to be reached.
Technique Tester Utilization
Allow screenshots to seize every session for sample research. Filenames embrace:
- Hole route and measurement
- Open place
- Whether or not ADR was achieved
This enables sorting screenshots to check particular patterns (e.g., all gap-down days that opened beneath vary).
Greatest Practices
- Set session instances accurately – That is crucial for correct statistics
- Use acceptable pattern measurement – 100 days balances relevance with pattern measurement
- Take into account pattern measurement in statistics – 8 matching days is much less dependable than 30
- Do not combat sturdy statistics – If 0% of comparable days hit a degree, do not anticipate it in the present day
- Use toggle buttons – Disguise irrelevant ranges to scale back chart muddle
- Mix a number of components – Strongest edges come from confluence
- Respect Bar 18 – Vary growth after this level is much less widespread
- Regulate Related Hole Vary – 15% is default; enhance for extra matches, lower for stricter matching
