Every hourly close since Oct 2024 treated as an entry, long and short, and checked for whether a stop at that distance was touched within the next 4 or 24 hours (17,310 hourly candles). Distances are in ATR(14) on the 1-hour chart and converted with today's ATR, so the price column moves with volatility. The rates are stable: measured on one year, they matched the following year to within about 1.4 percentage points on average across our markets. They describe ordinary noise, not direction.
What this means for your stop
- A stop inside one ATR is inside the noise: it gets hit on most days whether or not the trade idea was right. That is the usual reason a stop "always gets hit".
- Ripple (XRP/USD) typically covers about 5.5 ATR ($0.0365) from high to low in 24 hours.
- Wider is not automatically better: a wider stop loses more when it is hit. Decide the distance first, then size the position to it.
When you enter matters, not only where the stop is
The same stop, one ATR ($0.0066) away, was hit within 4 hours about 55% of the time when the trade was opened around 13:00 London time, and about 36% when it was opened around 05:00.
- Busiest entry hours (London): 13:00 (~55%), 14:00 (~54%), 12:00 (~53%).
- Calmest entry hours (London): 05:00 (~36%), 04:00 (~36%), 21:00 (~37%).
- A tight stop placed just before the busy hours is hit far more often than the same stop in the calm hours. Single-hour figures are approximate (on later data one hour could be off by 5-20 points); the busy-versus-calm pattern held. The calculator shows the odds for the hour you are in.
Spread and the stops you never saw coming
Crypto trades around the clock and has no daily rollover, but spreads and funding still widen in thin weekend and overnight hours, and your stop fills on your exchange's order book, not on the chart.
Where the crowd's stops are right now
Distance and the hour set the odds. In our tests, an obvious swing low or a round number was reached no more often than any other point the same distance away, so the crowd map shows whose stops you sit beside, not how likely yours is to be hit. On the free 24-hour-delayed model, the densest modeled stop band for XRPUSD has its upper edge at 1.3462 and its lower edge at 1.2725.
