summary: how to use the green & red days by weekday report to build a directional bias for a specific day of the week and stack it with your level-based reports for confluence.
what it measures
this is one of the simplest reports on the platform, and one of the most useful for planning. it answers a single question: for a given weekday, how often does the session close green versus red? a green day closes above its open; a red day closes below it.
break that down by day of the week and patterns show up — some tickers lean green on certain days and red on others. it's a directional bias tool, not a trigger. you're not trading the report itself; you're using it to know which way the day tends to lean before you go looking for an entry.
green/red is measured open-to-close by default. the customize button lets you switch to previous-close-to-close, which measures from yesterday's close instead of today's open — so it folds in the overnight gap and often gives a cleaner read. like every report, it's ticker and session specific, and stock traders use regular trading hours only.
how to read it
read it as a lean, not a lock. if a weekday closes green far more often than red, that's a long bias for that day — a reason to favor setups in that direction and be more skeptical of shorts. the further the split sits from an even green/red balance, the stronger the lean.
the key word is bias. a weekday leaning green doesn't mean price goes straight up — it means the day tends to finish green. you still need a level and a setup to actually get in. open the report for the ticker and session you trade to see the split for each day.
how traders use it
the value here is confluence — this report is a bias input you stack on top of a level-based read:
pair it with the previous day's range report: if Wednesday leans green and price breaks the prior day's high, those two point the same way
pair it with a session breakout or initial balance read to time the entry once you know the day's lean
use it to plan the week — know which days favor longs and which favor shorts before the session opens
when the weekday bias and your setup disagree, that's a smaller position or a pass. when they agree, that's confluence. the what's in play panel surfaces the current weekday's lean and bias at the top of the report, so you can check it without digging.
tips
it's a bias, not a signal. never trade it on its own — use it to tilt the odds on a setup you'd already be watching.
try the previous-close-to-close setting in customize. measuring from the prior close instead of the open folds in the overnight gap and usually gives a stronger read.
watch the sample size. one weekday can have fewer instances than another over the same window, so confirm the read holds across 1 year, 6 months, and 3 months before you lean on it. consistent results still take customization and reps.
