SPX Ranged last week 143 points from 4593.62 to 4450.57. This gives us an average right at 29 points which means if trader profits were 29 ish points per day then the average was met to points. NZD/USD traded 212 pips from 0.7033 to 0.6821 or 42 points per day. This 42 points for NZD is a bit high and results from the 101 pip spike on Tuesday.
SPX 143 points is a god send to free money profits as much as 212 pips for NZD/USD.
SPX for the week contains 2 big points: 4497.99 and 4522.25 or 24 points. How close is 4522? I have 4521. Points and pips truly matter because it determines if a vital average will hold or break lower or higher.
NZD/USD big breaks are located at 0.6927 and 0.6856 or 71 pips. Overall, SPX 24 Vs NZD/USD at 71. NZD/USD ranges reveals NZD/USD will continue to beat SPX and not by very much as 42 day trade points will drop as the next trade day ends.
A day trade for any financial instrument is a monster especially to hit entries and targets perfectly. Targets are never the question but entries are the whole keys to profits. A day trade must re factor everyday as every trade day is vastly different to entries and targets.
