Methodology, coverage and checks
No premarket/aftermarket in the requested session statistics. No overnight gap is added to the daily range. No option prices or IV enter this report.
Threshold boundaries: below 0.2%; 0.2% through 0.4% inclusive; strictly above 0.4% through 0.5% inclusive. Greater-than thresholds are strict. Counts use unrounded percentages; display percentages are rounded.
Last-hour net change requires its first and last minute. High–Low requires all 60 minutes; if bars are missing, its denominator is shown separately. The last-minute close is not a simulated official closing-auction fill.
Daily Yahoo OHLC fields use a consistent price basis, not Adjusted Close. Prices are normalized to $0.0001 to remove binary-float noise. Holiday and short-session dates follow the exchange calendar.
This is a dated statistical snapshot, not a live feed or a guaranteed tradable profit. Collected: 2026-09-09 22:30:58 UTC.
