Rate hike

An increase in interest rates by a central bank, which can cause the currency of the country to appreciate.

Rate of Change (ROC)

Rate of change, ROC, is a momentum indicator that measures how fast a price is moving by comparing it to where it was some number of periods ago. Expressed as a percentage, it swings above and below a zero line: positive when the price is higher than it was, negative when it is lower, and the further from zero, the stronger the momentum.

Traders use it to gauge whether a move is accelerating or quietly running out of puff.

Example: A trader watching a stock sees its rate of change climb steeply above zero, indicating strong upward momentum behind the rally. But when the price keeps making new highs while the ROC starts to flatten and fall, she notices the divergence and grows cautious: the momentum may be fading even as the price rises, potentially warning that the move is tiring and a pullback may be near, so she tightens her stop rather than adding to the position.

RBNZ

The RBNZ is the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, the country’s central bank and the institution that sets interest rates and works to maintain price stability and financial stability. Small though New Zealand is, its central bank has a habit of being a trendsetter: it was the first in the world to adopt a formal inflation target, back in 1989, a framework that much of the rest of the central-banking world later copied.

Traders watch its decisions closely for their effect on the Kiwi.

Example: When the RBNZ surprises the market by raising interest rates more than expected, the New Zealand dollar may rise, as higher yields can make the currency more attractive to investors hunting return. Because the Kiwi is a favourite of the carry trade, an RBNZ decision can ripple well beyond New Zealand, moving a currency that global investors hold partly for the interest it pays, so even a small shift in tone from the bank can spark an outsized reaction.

Real effective exchange rate (REER)

A weighted average of a currency’s exchange rate relative to other currencies, adjusted for inflation.

Real money

Real money is the market’s name for the large institutional investors with substantial pools of capital, who invest primarily on an unleveraged basis rather than trading on borrowed leverage. The label sets them apart from the leveraged names, the hedge funds and speculators who trade fast and use borrowed money to amplify their bets.

Real money moves in size but deliberately, shifting long-term allocations rather than chasing quick trades.

Example: A currency strategist notes that real money has been steadily buying the euro, and reads it differently from a burst of hedge-fund speculation. Because pension funds and asset managers often invest with longer-term objectives, their steady accumulation may indicate sustained demand rather than a fleeting punt, potentially supporting a currency for months, not just days.

Realised profit/loss

Realised profit or loss is the money you have actually locked in by closing a position, as opposed to the paper gains and losses that flit around while a trade is still open. The instant you sell what you bought, or buy back what you shorted, becomes a realised gain or loss

It is the profit that has genuinely been recorded on the closed position, and the figure that matters for tax and for your true track record.

Example: A trader buys a stock at 100 and watches it climb to 115, where her account shows a potential gain, but that is only unrealised until she acts. When she finally sells at 112, she books a realised profit of 12 a share; the extra three points she briefly saw at 115 were never locked in, a reminder that only a closed trade turns a paper gain into realised profit or loss.
