The bloodshed in the Swiss Franc is likely behind us, but looking at the charts do you currently look at the CHF for trading purposes or will you wait to get more relevant data?

I think the sharp drop has messed up the technical pattern and I am waiting for more candlesticks to be formed before I analyze the CHF again.

Me too. I will definately stay away from CHF pairs. I did see a negative balance in my account from gbp/chf, luckily my broker will not make me cover it.

Everybody talk about losses, account devastation, massive insolvencies. Anybody on the sunny side? I really want to talk to that persons - they have fulfilled main desire of all forex traders - tremendous profits gotten in a blink of eye..
Here is what I found from my broker so far https://blog.hotforex.com/hotforex-...355-pips-in-few-seconds-while-selling-usdchf/. I wonder was it a pure luck or intended trade..

CHF has made a huge turn around in the market and its a lesson for us too, to look into such currencies. most of us just try to earn from the majors but these currencies too sometime give very good earning opportunities.

I didn't have time to keep an eye on this cool forum but now i am back and i noticed this guy with the profit. I am really curious to know how did he manage to close his position and how much money he had in his account to be able to resist this volatility and close the trade on profit... either he was trading with 1000 units or he was lucky! I know a guy who made a lot of money on the RUB last year but the situation was quite different...

Maybe he just traded normally and everything was done from server side due to Swiss upheaval.

I also recalled the Swiss event, the chart in that time was ridiculous with the biggest gap I ever seen. And many brokers as ironfx was bankrupt. Only a few brokers are able to pay for winning traders as hotforex above.

Remember I read in HF blog one guy made 13K from one trade. That's really crazy, probably best trade in his life...

You are lucky that you got profits because there are many traders who have lost a huge amount and ...

It is not just traders but some of the small Forex brokers went out of business :)
