Trade Results: NZD and NOK

This week's trade theme was NZD and RBNZ.

The RBNZ failed to deliver to the 5 day interest rate rule as RBNZ interest rates traded less than 5 basis points in 5 days. The RBNZ informed long before the statement to on hold for OCR.

But did we really need the 5 day rule for the NZD trades to work perfectly. No we didn't as math rules dominated the actual weekly trades. The trades and results below as posted.
