ADR% averages ratios of daily high to low. It does not calculate direction, target-hit probability or account risk. This site's high/low measure does not separately include the gap from the previous close to the next open.
Reproduce the site's formula
Two hypothetical sessions with high/low pairs 105/100 and 110/100 have a two-session illustrative ADR of 7.5%. Averaging highs and lows first and then dividing is a different formula. The site uses 20 sessions and rounds to two decimals. Missing lows and provider anomalies can affect the result.
Frozen medians differ
On 2026-10-02, the full U.S. sample's median ADR was 3.53%, while eight-condition passers had 3.47%. Korea had 4.95% overall and 5.75% among passers. The claim that qualification necessarily selects higher range is not true for this U.S. snapshot. Market universes also differ; these medians are not entry thresholds.
Range is different from planned loss
Price 100 and ADR 5% do not predict that tomorrow stays between 95 and 105. An average omits the distribution, extremes and gaps. Entry at 100 with a planned exit at 98 implies risk of 2, but a gap to 90 can cause a different fill. An ADR-based exit still has execution risk.
Comparability checks
Match the period, high/low definition and date, then inspect volume and adjustment history. Claims that higher ADR increases target-hit probability or lower ADR is safe need separate forward-return validation. This site does not supply that probability.
