summary: the report selector lets you switch between 50+ edgeful reports without losing your current settings — here's how to navigate it and which starter reports to open first.
what the report selector is
the report selector is the first dropdown in the left sidebar on any report page. it's how you switch between the 50+ reports available on edgeful — without leaving the page or losing your current ticker, session, and date range settings.
how to use it
click the report dropdown at the top of the left sidebar
the selector panel opens — reports are organized into categories and there's a search bar at the top
browse by category or type a report name to search
click any report to load it — your ticker, session, and date range carry over automatically
how reports are organized
reports are grouped into categories by type. use the category groups to browse by what you're looking for, or use the search bar if you already know the report name.
your starter reports
when you go through onboarding, edgeful automatically bookmarks 8 reports based on the most useful starting points for traders new to the platform. you'll find these in your bookmarks bar in the right navigation — ready to open without any setup.
here's what each one measures:
gap fill — how often price returns to fill the gap back to the previous session close after opening with a gap. one of the highest-frequency setups on the platform and a staple for most traders.
initial balance (IB) — how often price breaks above or below the opening range (first-hour high and low), and how those breakouts tend to play out. the most widely used report on edgeful.
inside bars — how often a candle forms entirely within the previous candle's range, and which direction the subsequent breakout typically goes.
opening candle continuation — how often the first candle's direction continues through the rest of the session. tells you whether the opening move tends to hold or fade.
outside days — how often price expands beyond the previous session's full range, and whether those expansions tend to continue or reverse.
previous days range — how often price revisits the previous session's high or low during the current session, and how often it closes beyond those levels.
engulfing candles — how often a candle completely engulfs the previous candle, and the historical follow-through rate in that direction.
ICT opening retracement — how often price retraces back to the opening range after an initial directional move. useful for traders who use ICT concepts in their analysis.
where to begin
if you're not sure which report to open first, start with these two:
initial balance — it's the most data-rich report on the platform and applicable to almost every futures and equity trader. look at it on your primary ticker with NY session selected. the IB sets the framework for the rest of the day, and the data here will immediately give you context for how it typically resolves.
opening candle continuation — pairs naturally with the IB. once you know how the opening range tends to break, understanding whether that first candle tends to follow through gives you a more complete picture of what to expect at the open.
both are already bookmarked — just click them from the right navigation bar.
