I see all our old friends of the good 1.2000 cap times since 2012 no more posting...... me too. Since the lifting of the peg, things become uncertain. But from your posts above Nud, lazy.mine, this pair may be worth a try again, with the soft peg ...

OK, the informal rumor of a soft peg 1.05-1.10, rumors that may be true. If we can't trust the 'utmost determination', we cannot trust a rumor, we also cannot trust a rumor being a rumor..... Anyway saw this this happening on 13 Mar......, posted it ...

Heard rumours that the Swiss finance minister & some discussions on a new peg to be 'considered'. Any updates or news on this?

I was here 2 yrs ago when 1,20 was in place. Lost everything due to over-leveraging of course like most of everyone else. Now I'm signing off. This is my last post. Farewell my friends....... I will be back only if SNB regrets their decision when ...

ECB QE 22nd Jan? Same day SNB -ve rates start What if Draghi comes out hawkish & no QE?...... Hope to buy near floor soon. By the way when we are off this holidays, SNB has an automated robot EA watching the floor this holiday season working with ...

I totally agree with you. Seeing the spike-up now to 1.2030, I'm closing some positions now, so I will have more margin to load lower post-SNB announcement tomorrow. I think within 24hrs after the same expected "........utmost determination" again ...

H&S formation in H1 chart. Likely downtrend. Fundamentals also pointing downwards. EU is in quite a bad shape compared to Switzerland...

If SNB cuts rates to -ve, won't it be good to see our -ve overnight swaps reduced? or possibly some +ve swaps emerge?
- alaneth replied Dec 3, 2014
We cannot predict in any manner tomorrow's ECB & next week's SNB outcome. All predictions may turn out the opposite. My strategy is still to buy low and sell gradually towards 1.2050. 2 years ago, the spikes up are unforseen and mostly due to rumors ...

Since our positions are decidedbright now, wont expect much price change until EU market time another 7hrs from now. So why not we get some sleep now for 7hrs...

I've no idea on the cantons' agreement or timeframe to agree in the swiss referendum system.... Anyway I think it is difficult to get a YES seeing the cantons must agree and even if the cantons agree, it will take some time for the effect to be ...

If a YES comes thru, the govt will have 3 years to make it into law, and SNB will have 5 years to get their gold reserve up to 20%. Of course immediately there will be knee-jerk reactions testing the floor, but I believe SNB will ensure it's intact ...

ECB's coming up next, but I think regardless of the outcome dovish, hawkish or neutral, the EURCHF is not going anywhere more than 30 pips - just my feelings, the EC is so muted to news now. After the "Crimean-gap", 1.22 is more like a psychological ...

Besides us traders, brokers (with -ve long swap) are also making lots of money when traders hold large long positions with them. They still get the +ve swap from their EUR/CHF interest rate differential. Luring traders into the short is hedging ...

I have minilots bought downwards from 1.2300 every 20pips, increasing in value towards 1.21 and with more lots below 1.21. I admit I lack discipline and shorted sometimes and lost some money. I also believe strongly in SNB's floor until they change ...

Yes I think so - it's the major cause coupled with a no-surprise ECB speech. What about the surprisingly good US NFP? well it dropped mostly after NFP announcement if I see right. Swiss CPI=0.0% is still much lower than EU's rate, although EU is ...

Funny that EURCHF is not responding to the EUR rate cut & EZ deflation threat - rather stagnant above 1.23. In case of a future zero or negative rate by ECB due to EZ deflation, I don't know how SNB will want to react. Just waiting for a chance to ...

It all depends on the period of the shutdown at the moment. Also to watch the debt ceiling deadline mid-Oct. A lot of uncertainties. I dare not speculate. Technicals don't work now for UC. At the moment EURCHF is still the safe bet as the US crisis ...

Yes, I also think SNB may be bidding EC around 1.22 levels. Due to their peg to Euro they may buy EUR first, then diversify to other currencies. Have to look at their forex reserves to confirm this. Meanwhile the weekly SNB sight deposits cannot ...

It's testing 1.2275 right now and, yes Simon the 200EMA can also be a strong resistance. I'm hoping to reload at dips again. Sigh, I've waited for 1 year for significant profits from EC. I think scalping it the best strategy now, safer to ...
