British Pound 6B

Historical statistics for British Pound over 16,102 observations, from 2010-06-07 to 2026-10-23. Every table shows its sample size (n) next to the percentage.

What sets this instrument apart

An upside gap between one day's close and the next day's open fills in 6B between 86.9% of the time on a Monday (n = 381) and 98.3% on a Friday (n = 288). The gap between Friday and Monday exceeds noise (two-proportion test, Holm-corrected over the 10 pairs of days), but in a contract trading nearly 24 hours that gap is small, which is why it closes so often: it is not a tradable edge.
