USD/CHF perfectly aligned for sustainable grid trading

Long
OANDA:USDCHF   U.S. Dollar / Swiss Franc
 
USD/CHF has had a nice bullish short term ride and I believe it will, in general, continue until it reaches a firm resistance zone of $1.02ish, first established in November, 2014. This zone has been tested several times, so its a good selling area. Overall support is roughly at $0.87ish and has been holding and tested since May, 2014. The really is an exceptional set up that looks like it will continue for a while.

When using a traditional grid trading technique, settng an upper boundary of $1.03 and a lower boundary of $0.86, yielding a spread of 1700 pips, gives a very nice grid structure with 17 pips between each level, with a maximum of 100 levels. Using automated methods would provide a very consistent flow of profits. The fact that the price action is so close to the lower boundary means profitability will occur in a shorter time frame as saturation will occur quicker. For manual trading, the boundaries could easily be adjusted to a level where a few minutes a day could be used to maintain the grid while still being quite profitable, since this is based upon the daily chart.

Another technique would be to use a floating grid that encompases a stoploss such that the grid is more dymanic to the market, while providing consistency in both budget and profitability (see signature for more details). A floating grid will provide a better level of analysis as well, since it manages less positions and has a stronger and more beneficial rule set.

Overall, regardless of trading technique, the USD/CHF market is poised to be profitable for a while, with a significant histocical record of being reliable.
