Measured volatility, regime and correlations (majors)
How each major actually behaves, measured on FxPro’s MT5 feed — daily range, annualised volatility, the current volatility regime, trading style and the typical weekend gap:
| Instrument | Avg daily range | Annual volatility | Vol regime | Style | Avg weekend gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EUR/USD | 58.3 pips | 4.73% | stable | mixed | 15 pips |

| USD/CAD | 57.9 pips | 3.48% | stable | mixed | 11.2 pips |
| USD/JPY | 96.9 pips | 6.28% | expanding | choppy | 15.1 pips |
Measured correlations (14-day): most aligned — EUR/USD/GBP/USD +0.84, EUR/USD/AUD/USD +0.71; most opposed — EUR/USD/USD/CAD -0.68, GBP/USD/USD/CAD -0.57. Pairs that move together stack your risk; opposed pairs can offset it.
