Additional statistics
Standard deviation: 0.081270%
Sample standard deviation of signed hourly log returns; not annualised.
More precision: 0.046793%
90th percentile of the observed absolute changes. This is not a ceiling or a forecast.

Quotes from a live MT5 account with no funds. These are not executed client trades; the source is not a broker recommendation.
Candidates are valid one-hour intervals present for at least one pair. This is not coverage of every scheduled market hour. Coverage against the broker’s full trading schedule: unknown.
We measure the size of price changes between adjacent completed hours, using midpoint quotes from one fixed source.
r = ln(mid at hour end / mid at hour start); move = 100 × |r|. The typical move is the median.
Percentiles use linear interpolation at (N − 1) × p after sorting. The middle 50% is P25 to P75; P90 describes the upper part of this sample.
All eight pairs use the same valid intervals. We do not fill gaps or join changes across weekends. At least 24 common intervals are required.
Hourly endpoints do not reveal the path within an hour. These figures are not high–low ranges, ATR, ADR, forecasts or a portfolio risk score.
Ordering uses unrounded medians. Equal values share a rank; an alphabetical order makes exact ties stable. Small differences are not evidence of significance.
Zero means the sampled endpoints were unchanged. It does not prove that the price stayed still within the hour.
Standard deviation is provided as a secondary measure. The typical absolute move is not the same as standard deviation or median absolute deviation.
Updates are checked every minute while the tab is visible. New observations follow completed hours.
Historical observations do not predict future movement or profit.
