Leave Your Fondue Pot At Home:

Swiss forex , formally known as The Confederation Helvetica, is a landlocked mountainous haven in the heart of Europe. Partially due to the isolating geography, the Swiss people have maintained a strong commitmenrt to tradition, independence and the preservation of their long-established way of life. Hence, it is very important for the traveler to note that Switzerland is not a member of the European Union and uses the Swiss Franc as their form of currency.
An incredible benefit of swiss forex is a clean, speedy and reliable train system and public transportation network.

the Forex Day Trader:

Spread and liquidity:

Forex brokers don't charge you a commission for every trade you make (at least most forex brokers). Instead, they make their profit on the bid/ask spread which is measured in pip spread. As a forex day trader you are aiming at capturing small price swings sometimes several time per day.
Also, your profit objectives are obviously much smaller than the swing trader's profit objectives.
All this means one thing: every1 pip spread counts. You cannot afford to trade currency pairs with large spreads; if you do your profit will get eaten up to a point where you will not be trading with an adequate risk/reward ratio.
Forex day trading must be done with liquid pairs. Most forex brokers will provide you with a very narrow pip spread for the most liquid currency pairs.
As an example, many brokers are now offering a 1 pip spread for EUR/USD and USD/JPY and a 1 pip spread for USD/CHF and GBP/USD. These are the most liquid pairs and the ones a day trader should focus on.

So Many Markets:

The value of each pair differs slightly but the minimum movement - called a pip spread - is worth approximately $10. The GBPUSD has been averaging 100-150 pips per day.
Brokers tend not to charge a commission for trading forex and you will often see adverts for "commission free" trading. However, they make their money on the pip spread which is the difference between the buying price and the selling price. The pip spread is usually between 3 and 5 pips spreads although some brokers may offer a 1 pip spread on some pairs, and some less-popular pairs may have a larger pip spread.

Guide to Forex Trading:

This pip spread on every trade is a commission. That’s what it is. Despite what the broker might claim. And that pip spread is not cheap. 1 pip is $10 on a just one full sized pair. Try $50 on a 5 pip spread you still see as commonplace.
You have a trade where you are targeting 25 pip spreads and risking 25 pip spreads. As you’ll learn below, that trade actually has to go 28 pip spreads or more to hit your target of 25 pip spreads and you’ll actually be risking 28 pip spreads or more – but for this example we won’t get hung up on that. We’ll solve that later.
