Heads Up: CHF Rate Hike (Sep 14)

CHF Interest Rate Release — I would trade the USD/CHF over the EUR/CHF since it is at 8 AM EDT. You would get USD news at 8:30 AM EDT that would increase expectations and pips. Two trades, one currency pair.

I am not risking. I am making a living. Currency speculation is my job and affords the rest of my life. Trading should do this for you too.

Trading is my job. Trading is what affords the rest of my life. Taxes - find a good certified public accountant within a Big 5, not an accountant you are related to or is a relative of your spouse.
