Carry % is the annualised swap yield; a negative hold cost means the position earns over that period. All pairs on our swap rates page.
EUR/USD volatility and daily range (measured)
How much EUR/USD actually moves — useful for sizing stops, targets and weekend risk:
| Measure | Measured (last 14 days) |
|---|---|
| Avg daily range | 67.7 pips |
| Annual volatility | 4.78% |

Average daily range is the mean high-to-low; volatility is annualised from daily closes; the weekend gap is the average Friday-to-Monday jump.
EUR/USD trading character (measured)
The measured personality of EUR/USD — how it tends to move, handy when picking a strategy:
| Measure | Measured |
|---|---|
| Market style | mixed (efficiency ratio 0.27) |
| Volatility regime | expanding |
| Up days | 42% |
| Best / worst day | 63 / -107 pips |
| Downside volatility | 3.2% a year |
| Carry-to-volatility | 0.128 |
Market style (trending vs mean-reverting) comes from the efficiency ratio; up days is the share of days that closed higher; downside volatility annualises only the losing days. Measured over the recent window — not a forecast.
EUR/USD order execution (measured)
How real market orders filled — speed, slippage and rejects by order size:
| Order size | Avg fill | Avg slippage | Fails |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.01 lot | 89 ms | 0.0 pts | 0 |
| 0.1 lot | 78 ms | 0.0 pts | 0 |
