Commodity reversals, trend days & calendar spreads
The same close-in-range engine, run across the liquid futures complex — energy, metals, grains, softs and meats (IBKR continuous front-month). Where did each contract settle inside its day's range, did it reverse off an extreme or trend the whole range, and how have those setups paid forward? Calendar spreads (front-vs-deferred) get their own browsable board below.

🔁 Reversal Day strict
Moved ≥2.5% intraday, then flipped — closed within 10% of the opposite extreme AND reversed the session's sign (net + for bullish, − for bearish). A true same-session reversal, not a hammer/star. Detected on the live September 1, 2026 bar.
🚀 Open & Go trend day
Opened pinned to one extreme (within 5% of the range low/high), then marched the full range — closed ≥2.5% off the open AND within 10% of the opposite extreme. A one-way trend day (opposite of a reversal). Detected on the live September 1, 2026 bar.
🗓️ Commodity Calendar Spreads energy + ags
Front-vs-deferred spreads (near − far), priced in points. Since spreads cross zero the %-reversal signals don't apply — this is a browsable view: today's close-in-range, the day's range, and where the spread sits in its own 2-year range. Click a row for its 2-year price chart.

Close-in-range (clr) = (Close − Low) / (High − Low), shown 0–100. Off-high = (Close − High)/range; Up-from-low = (Close − Low)/range. % from low/high are in return space vs the day's extremes. Low/High exc are the intraday extremes vs the prior close. Click a column head to sort; click any row for that name's forward-return analog study. Faded rows didn't print a bar on the as-of date.
