NZD/USD day trade

Day trade depends how a day trade is viewed and factored. Until 10:00 am, 0.6781 to 0.6816 are short and long points. A few pips drop from 0.6781 or above 0.6816 is free money given by Mr. Market and happens every day, all day.

For an actual day trade, the range becomes 0.6907 to 0.6784. A few pips above or below if seen is free money given my Mr. Market every day, all day.

Many years ago, we cracked the trading code to currencies and bunches of financial instruments and as a result, posted gazillions of points and pips for readers. My own mouth drops at my superb commentary, respectfully. I'm pretty much through to posts on websites and the social junk that exists today. If something exists to say or write then its on my blog and exclusive to multi-year friends and followers.
