Basics
What is USD/CHF?
USD/CHF combines USD strength with CHF’s defensive nature. Risk-off shocks can strengthen CHF quickly.
Best time to trade
London/NY sessions define range edges and react to US equity flows.
How to trade ranges cleanly
In RANGE regime, fade extremes with strict invalidation. Avoid over-trading the middle. If risk spikes (high), reduce size or wait for stabilization.
