How it works
Returns compare the last recorded price of each period with the previous period. The first period has no return; missing periods are left blank. Daily prices do not capture every intraday high. Drawdown measures the fall from the highest recorded price so far.
Each currency uses its own saved history. Earlier dates are unavailable when that currency has no recorded price. Today's point uses the latest available quote. Past dates use recorded daily observations.
