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 | 45.5 pips | 4.2% | stable | choppy | 7.6 pips |
| GBP/USD | 53.9 pips | 4.78% | contracting | choppy | 9.5 pips |

| USD/JPY | 141.2 pips | 9.11% | expanding | mixed | 11.1 pips |
Measured correlations (14-day): most aligned — EUR/USD/GBP/USD +0.81, EUR/USD/AUD/USD +0.59; most opposed — EUR/USD/USD/CAD -0.7, GBP/USD/USD/CAD -0.54. Pairs that move together stack your risk; opposed pairs can offset it.
