USD/CHF Market Analysis and Trading News
|
| 22-May-13 |
[4:12am] USD/CHF closed higher on Tuesday and the mid-range close sets the stage for a steady opening when Wednesday's session begins trading. Stochastics and the RSI remain neutral-to-bullish signalling that sideways-to-lower prices are possible near-term. If it extends the rally off last week's high, the July 2012 high crossing is the next upside target. Closes below the 20 day moving average crossing would confirm that a short-term high has been posted.

How to Spread Bet on USD/CHF? |
As with a variety of markets, you are able to spread bet on FX pairs, like USD/CHF, to rise or fall.
If we log into a spread trading website like Capital Spreads, we can see they are valuing the USD/CHF Rolling Daily market at SFr 0.93867 - SFr 0.93887. This means you could spread bet on the USD/CHF rate:
 Rising above SFr 0.93887, or
 Falling below SFr 0.93867
When financial spread betting on USD/CHF you trade in £x per point where a point is SFr 0.00010 of the pairs movement. So, if you invest £4 per point and USD/CHF moves 39.0 points then that would alter your profit/loss by £156. £4 per point x SFr 0.00390 = £4 per point x 39.0 points = £156.
Rolling Daily FX Markets
It is important to note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so unlike a normal futures market, there is no settlement date. If your position is still open at the end of the day, it will just roll over into the next trading session.
If your forex trade is rolled over then you will usually be charged a small overnight financing fee. To see a fully worked example read Rolling Daily Spread Betting.
USD/CHF Rolling Daily - Foreign Exchange Trading Example |
So, if we think about the above spread of SFr 0.93867 - SFr 0.93887 and make the assumptions:
- you have done your analysis of the foreign exchange markets, and
- it leads you to feel that the USD/CHF rate will push higher than SFr 0.93887
then you might decide to buy a spread bet at SFr 0.93887 and invest, for the sake of argument, £2 per point.
So, you win £2 for every point (SFr 0.00010) that the USD/CHF FX rate increases above SFr 0.93887. Conversely, however, you will lose £2 for every point that the USD/CHF market goes below SFr 0.93887.
Considering this from another angle, should you buy a spread bet then your P&L is found by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by your stake.
If after a few trading sessions the forex pair moved higher then you could consider closing your spread bet to secure your profit.
So if the market increased then the spread might move to SFr 0.94263 - SFr 0.94283. In order to close/settle your position you would sell at SFr 0.94263. Therefore, with the same £2 stake your profit would be calculated as:
P&L = (Closing Price - Initial Price) x stake
P&L = (SFr 0.94263 - SFr 0.93887) x £2 per point stake
P&L = SFr 0.00376 x £2 per point stake
P&L = 37.6 points x £2 per point stake
P&L = £75.20 profit
Speculating on FX, by spread trading or otherwise, is not always straightforward. In this case, you had bet that the currency pair would go up. However, the currency rate could fall.
If the USD/CHF market had fallen then you might choose to close your position in order to limit your losses.
If the market fell to SFr 0.93441 - SFr 0.93461 then this means you would settle your trade by selling at SFr 0.93441. If so, your loss would be calculated as:
P&L = (Closing Price - Initial Price) x stake
P&L = (SFr 0.93441 - SFr 0.93887) x £2 per point stake
P&L = -SFr 0.00446 x £2 per point stake
P&L = -44.6 points x £2 per point stake
P&L = -£89.20 loss
