These 2 pairs have higher intraday range simply because they are more "expensive" (in USD dollars or Euros). A $1000 stock will necessary have a higher daily range (in dollars and cents) than a $2 stock, for instance. Pip wise, here are the biggest currency movers (and their current price), on an intraday basis of course: GBP/NZD $1.92 GBP/AUD 1.79 GBP/CAD 1.70 EUR/NZD 1.68 EUR/AUD 1.56 GBP/JPY 151 (yens) EUR/CAD 1.48 EUR/JPY 131 (yens) GBP/USD 1.38 GBP/CHF 1.26 The "poorest" - at the moment - is the NZD/CHF ($0.65) Have a good weekend.
The problem when we enter a Forex day-trade after 12 PM (New York time) is that the high and the low of the day have already been established (in most cases), so there is almost nothing left to eat, unless the trend is very strong. Sure, a huge reversal can suddenly appear out of nowhere, but these complete U-turns are rare.
Amen. It was either in Market Wizards ot Chat With Traders YT channel, where they spoke about a guy, that would have 1 trade every 2 or 3 months & he would grab ~$300k, repeating this for years.
Absolutely, how frequently we trade has very little to do with the profits we make. We can trade 50 times a day and lose a fortune, or we can trade twice a year and make a killing, year after year.
