EUR/CHF

I'm long from 1.2030. I guess there would be few people selling if the price happens to dip below 1.2. With proper MM tight stops may be more of a hazard in the short term than any kind of benefit. If the price should break significantly downwards below 1.2 I doubt many of those stops would be filled either and may only serve to lock in losses. Is this right or am I smoking my socks?

In short time, maybe, is possible enter long with eur/chf. But i think that keeping the chf weak above 1.20 will be difficult if the EZ still with problems and another countries too.
I´m not sure, perhaps in a few day we´ll see the chf reaching new highs.
no intervention can beat the market

Guys, I've got an idea for SNB
I think Switzerland should take over Greece and become one country

I can see nothing else but only advantages:
1. Swiss will throw billions...
Be careful what you wish for! The Swiss might join the Euro and if that happens, it would indeed be what you described above.

And it would be one less volatile currency for us to trade.

This step has been flagged well in advance by the Swiss press and politicians in the countries have given the SNB full backing in relevant measures. In addition, this is not the first time in Switzerland’s history where an FX target has been adopted. In 1978, the SNB defined a target for the franc against the German mark, noting the exchange rate would be influenced in a way such that DEMCHF settled at a level well above 80 francs for every 100 marks. The language is similar this time – and investors should be very clear about the terminology the SNB is not pegging the franc to the EUR in any way.
If the experience of the 1978 peg is anything to go by, the SNB should be successful in defending this level (Chart 1). However, the risks for this strategy are great and the SNB will need to carefully calibrate its money market operations, not only to maintain its current stance penalizing CHF holdings via negative implied and outright yields, but also to prevent inflationary pressures from accumulating.

I think it is very safe to long EUR/CHF around 1.2020 level with stop at 1.1980. i made a few orders around 1.2020 2 hours ago and closed most of them. I only have one long order at 1.2013 and i will keep that order open, with s/l 1.1980 and tp 1.2420.
if EUR/CHF back to 1.2020 again i will buy it again and set stop 1.1980. i think the risk/reward for this pair is very good now. even if my orders are stopped out i got enough profits from my last a few trade on this pair today so i wont lose money in total. But if SNB did actually protect the 1.2000 level, then it would be a big kill after for a while.
Let's see what will happen.

I'd place the stop below 1.1880. Keep the 1% rule for the pegs.
Then just enjoy either the ride up, if not then the interest rate differential for a loooooooooooong time unil they unpeg it.

Pretty much my strategy. A SL that is too tight has a good chance of going wrong.

Hey guys, how exactly SNB finances its purchases? Don't you think that selling EUR/CHF could bring enourmous profits, if all long get stopped out and SNB finds itself unable to stay with the purchases?

...in case money runs out they will just print new money and causing inflation in switzerland

the more interesting question is where will all the euros go they bought...they cannot invest in german bonds cause it would weaken the Euro again causing trouble for themself

Chaps, anyone keen to comment on CHFTRY ? on the chart it is looking very tempting to buy. I am bearish USDCHF anyway, I dont think the CB action can impact mkt fundamentals in mid term, so looking for strange plays that can give the view a bit more umph. Turkey has a C/A deficit which will not tolerate USDTRY below 1.72 plus plenty of freaky political headlines..

I watched in media that it's possible they will just PRINT empty money if needed, as between both, higher inflation would be better than extremly dear franc...

How will they print money? 9/10 of the francs are in foreign hands!!! Swiss banks are the safest in the world, how will they break this thrust? Their financial system will simply fall apart. They CAN't print indefinitely money...

Yes, They can print money. With their strong CHF they can buy unlimited supply of paper and ink and print money. They will hire more people and reduce unemployment.

Question is, what next? They will buy unlimited amount of USD, EUR, ... and what next?

The best solutions for Swiss is announcement for eurozone

Ok, they will print as much franks, as there are euros in circulation? If eurocrysis deepens, and euro colapses (which is not unthinkable) this will be the greatest deal on the FX market. Someone is there to buy your inflated euros at great stable price indefinitely

Yes, and after that you will own money from country without economy. EU is under forest fire and Swiss can't survive because their economy is under middle of that fire...

Or SNB can hold 1:1.2 during this month, and after that will set limit around 1.3 announce negative interest rate, gold swiss franc, ... don't forget year '78!

Sold francs buy gold.

And what exactly happened in 78? SNB set an exchange rate target in 1978 and maintained it, although at the cost of high inflationin... after that the franc depreciated by 20% against the German mark within three weeks and followed an inflation of 7%


But the situation was different then...
