Note: The bands on the following charts represent extreme distribution values for re-shuffled data ignoring the time of day. Values outside of these bands indicate a greater chance of an actual market anomaly/inefficiency than effects of pure randomness. This does not eliminate the possibility of seeing such an effect due to chance, only reduces it.
*a reading of 100 bps would indicate that $\frac{high - low}{open}$ for that hourly bar = 1%
*Candle Body Ratio is defined as $\frac{\lvert{open - close}\rvert}{high - low}$
Higher values indicate stronger trend days, while lower values indicate choppier days
