How To Use This Calculator
Gap Size Input
Enter the gap in DAX index points rounded to the nearest whole number. FDAX gaps are much larger in nominal points than ES1 - a 50 point FDAX gap is a normal daily event.
The Headline %
Time-weighted probability that the gap closes within the same Xetra RTH session. Based on 19 years of FDAX data.
Confidence Band
Wilson Score Interval at 90% confidence. Only factor the gap into your bias when the lower bound clears 55%.
Reliability Indicator
GREEN = 100+ weighted sessions YELLOW = 50-99 (good) ORANGE = 20-49 (indicative only) RED = under 20 (insufficient data)

What It Measures
When today's Xetra open is beyond yesterday's session extreme (below the low, or above the high), this gives the historical probability that price reaches that level at some point during today's session.
Distance Input
Enter the distance from today's open to the previous session extreme you are targeting. For example: if yesterday's RTH low was 5,500 and today opens at 5,480, enter 20.
Scenario Toggle
Open Below Prev Low — today's open is under yesterday's low. Will price rally back up to test it?
Open Above Prev High — today's open is above yesterday's high. Will price pull back to test it?
Inside-Open Toggle
Switch on Opened inside yesterday's range when today's Xetra open is between yesterday's Xetra high and low. The result shows the exact historical percentage of those sessions that stayed completely inside yesterday's range and did not exceed either extreme.
Confidence Band & Reliability
Same system as the gap calculator. Wilson 90% CI. GREEN = 100+ sessions, YELLOW = 50–99, ORANGE = 30–49. Only sessions where the open was on the correct side are included.

Once a result is showing, click the icon next to the % for a 4-point walkthrough: Verdict, Session Bias, Recent Trend, and the Einstein one-liner.
Note on Headline Cards
The headline cards (Open Below Prev Low / Open Above Prev High) show overall rates across all distances. Run the Updater with any CSV to populate these — the current dataset pre-dates the new fields.
