How strongly do extreme price levels shape the distribution within the current window?
Calculates rolling kurtosis of price levels under the specified sample convention.
One dataset, the same parameters and the same candle for application and explanation.

11 Sept 2026, 15:00 — 11 Oct 2026, 15:00 UTC · 720 evaluation candles · 3000 earlier candles for warm-up only. Your opened snapshot stays fixed. A visit can refresh a stale cache in the background for later visitors; fetching fresh is not a tick stream.
Parameters and precise application
Number of confirmed hourly candles. Warm-up history stays fixed; only this parameter changes.
Measurement and diagnosis · no trading direction
Inspect the actual value at each confirmed candle. This analysis produces no buy or sell orders.
Preparing the calculation module. The shared market snapshot is already available.
Calculation and interpretation of the same candle
Compare windows and outliers to see how sensitive the shape statistic is to individual observations.
(n−1)/((n−2)(n−3))·[(n+1)m₄/m₂²−3(n−1)]
Unbiased rolling excess kurtosis; n≥4. Flat windows use pandas convention −3.
Kurtosis of price levels is not automatically return-tail risk; short windows produce unstable estimates.

The sources support definitions and methodological limits. They do not establish profit for this specific BTCUSDC rule. This analysis is descriptive; parameter trials on the same history are not independent out-of-sample evidence. Parity with a deployed unCoded engine is not claimed.
