USD/CZK trading

[FTtrader]

Hi,

do you trade usdczk?

In last one and half year i trade it into long most of the time.

Right now i have there two shorts for quick scalp.
After that i plan to go long again.
What do you think?

Spread is right now wild, because its before Asia session.

I do touch USD/CZK, but only as a satellite — never as a core scalp book.

Liquidity and spread behaviour are the constraint. Into thin Asia/early London the spread can open up enough that a 5–8 pip “scalp” is mostly transaction cost. London cash hours are usable; the quiet windows are not. I treat it more like a short-hold swing with a hard time stop than like EURUSD M1 work.

Desk habit if I’m long-biased: wait for a clean USD impulse against CZK on the majors tape first, then look for the CZK lag — don’t invent the thesis from the pair alone. Two opportunistic shorts for a quick fade are fine if the spread is behaving; I wouldn’t stack them into a position you plan to “turn long again” without checking whether Asia is about to widen the book.

Curious what session you’re usually in when those shorts work — London cash, or later NY?

Hi LondonScalper,

how are you?
Yeah, you are right, trading usdczk during Asia time is not good idea. I will share some setup yesterday, which works for me allmost 2 years. Thats why i like this trading pair.

Plus Czech krona is my home currency, so i understand it very well.
