Reading a session page.

The chart

The top pane is NQ in five-minute candles for the regular session, 9:30 to 16:00 Eastern. It carries three references: a dotted line at the session’s opening price, a 7-bar average and a 21-bar average.

Under it sit the indicator panes, all on the same time axis. Point at any bar and a crosshair runs through every pane, the readout at the top shows that bar’s prices, and each pane’s title shows its value at that bar. Each title links to that indicator’s page.

The readings

The rail on the left summarizes the session at its close, in four groups: price, momentum, volatility and breadth. A reading has a value and, where a rule exists, a label such as Bullish, Bearish or Even.

The line at the top counts the breadth labels, for example “4 of 6 bearish”. It is a count and not a score: each reading stays visible so you can see which ones agree. The rules behind the labels are listed at the bottom of the rail.

The indicator pages

Each indicator has its own page: what it measures, how it is computed, how to read it, how it can be used in a trade, what it cannot tell you, and three example sessions. The examples are picked by a stated rule, such as the sessions with the most extreme reading, so they are not chosen to flatter the indicator.

The archive

Sessions lists every archived session with its open, close, range and the number of strong momentum bars in each direction. Use it to find sessions of a kind, such as large down days, and open them one after another with the Previous and Next links.

A session is added after the market closes. The page is a record of a finished session and does not update during the trading day.
