Currency market – Results and new trades: Nasdaq, S&P 500, WMT, AMC
The difference between a day trade to an individual stock or indice and a currency price is zero. Simple math yet what simple math reveals daily is both the currency, index and stock price both contain an equal chance to trade higher or lower. Simply, the currency, stock price and index begins at neutral. An Index or indice is defined as SPX, DAX, NASDAQ, Nikkei.
The concept to neutral is universal to any currency, stock index and individual stock on any world exchange. The currency price however is in control of central banks and interest rates while the stock and index is in control of interest rates and by the market's daily numbers. The focus is the price and the price only. Because the index number such as SPX 500 is larger than a stock price, the speculation is the index is the driver to the stock price.
More numbers are involved in a currency day trade because its the smaller number to a stock or index price. The similarity to trading is multiple longs and shorts are offered for every stock, index and currency within the specified time to day trade. To know each trade in advance also affords the concept to never watch a chart, graph or use stops.
Multiple longs and shorts applies universally as a top or bottom break offers free money and extra pips and points to longs and shorts.
