Interesting Picture, 2 identical currency pairs!

I flipped the US/CHF monthly chart (TOP) and compared it with EUR/USD (BOTTOM)
Exactly identical ,even with dojis and candle shadows!!

Whats the point of trading the US/CHF then??

Did I post something obvious? Or there is no good traders on or what? Any comment?

They are negatively correlated so they go in the opposite direction at almost all times, so if USD/CHF is rising then most likely EUR/USD will be falling and vice versa. Because of this some people trade both pairs since if one goes up, odds are the other pair will fall. However this is doubling your risk since you're taking two trades instead of one and if you are wrong you lose twice as much. Hope that helps.
