Anyone Knows GBPCHF?

Recommended Posts

I was introduced to this pair a few weeks ago (in chat room. Thx Jwhite) and I'm amazed with the move. I thought Guppy swing was wide, but this one tops it all, wow! And I thought CHF was boring.

 

Anyway, I see that the pair spread is a bit wide (average 5 pips). I assume this is only way to profit is a longer term play (I'm a day trader). Anyone has recommendation the minimum time frame I should be looking at to trade this pair? Thanks.

Krantzy & Anna-Maria trade it ever now & again. I know she's had it on her radar as it flirted with 2.2570-50 (daily) & again further down here at 2.1250 (hourlies).

 

It's average daily (weekly) range coverage matches that of the volatile Geppy, as opposed to the other popular pairs.

 

They certainly don't daytrade it though. Preferring to run it via the slightly longer timeframe outlook given it's propensity to trek thru the levels fairly effortlessly.

You’ll find most of the factors which drive this pair will emanate from the local influences (Swiss/British vibration).

 

Dollar-Swiss is sometimes impacted by movements in cross exchange currents, such as GBPCHF & EURCHF. Typically, interest rate & key inflationary data which prints Franc negative, will knock onto Swiss weakness & in turn drag on the Dollar-Swiss.

 

The only times that outside factors affect the rhythm of this pair is if a move on Cable or Swiss gets extended via a rogue print in say NFP or a unique fundamental development kicks Cable or Swiss cross pairings temporarily out of whack.

 

A good deal of importer-exporter activity also transacts & feeds this pair, especially given it’s close border (geographic) proximity to Eurozone & GB.

So it does have some influence. I was looking at this range to play and wasn't sure if holding it through the NFP would be a good idea. It's NFP may help break this range play if it has a big impact depending on results. Thanks, millard

They don’t really get too excited about individual economic releases torero when running positions on these animals.

 

Intraday is a different ball game, but it’s rare Art or Anna will drill down & get involved in that arena to be honest. It has to be for a very specific reason before they’ll waste energy chasing these bucking bronco's all over the grid.

 

I know she’s got 2.0850 (weekly tech interest) & the aforementioned 2.1250 flagged on trips back up + the 1.9650 & 1.9450 zones tagged to the downside. Anything which occurs either side of their entry-stop-next interest zone barriers is usually given a low interest rating.

 

I can’t really be of any more help regards your observations as I have no idea of your trade structures or aims etc.

 

I do know they will occasionally allow a pretty loose rein (stops) on their initial entries (& usually cover them via option plays or jobbing exercises etc) if they’re particularly interested in getting aboard at a value range or supply-demand camp.

 

But then, a lot of their larger positional plays have less to do with technicals & more to do with fundamentals & psychology.

 

If you’re viewing it from a shorter timeframe play (sub hourly) or a tighter risk option, then I’m not your man I’m afraid.

I've not tried doing this in practice, but to mitigate the affects of the spread, you could consider creating your own GBP/CHF through the GBP futures and CHF futures on the GLOBEX - simultaneously buy (sell) the GBP futures & sell (buy) the CHF futures.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
