Is there any stats on how the major indicies are moving intraday percentagewise?From my empirical evidence it`s around these figures: 0.6/0.7/08 %. So, is there a more reliable and robust source to compare?

Double floating point format going back to Nov of last year for the SPY. Intraday (Open to Close) percentage changes.
