USD/CHF: Will This Major Diamond Bottom Work?

(Click on the atta ched Daily Chart to enlarge it)

A False breakout at the bottom of this major Diamond Bottom last week, and a quick move back into it and a break up of its upper Bearish Trendline indicates that a bottom has been formed.
A Bearish correction is expected after the strong move last Black Friday.
I´ll enter LONG at a pullback to this Diamond Bottom´s upper Bearish Trendline at around 1.0128, or at any significant Fibo retracement from last Friday´s Bulilsh move (from 0.9984 to 1.0192), which are: 1.0143 (23%), 1.0112 (38%) and 1.0088 (50%).
Honestly, any move below the current support level 1.0076 and below the 1.0063 (62%) would negate the current Bullish Momentum.
I´ll also enter LONG at any level above the current tops 1.0192 and 1.0223.
My LIMITS are: 1.03380 and 1.0450.

TRADING STYLE

Even though we are considered Day-Traders, our trading sometimes requires different styles, according to the patterns and/or how the market moves during our trading sessions. All strategies presented in all posts below are for Positioning but, depending on how markets behave, our style can change so that we can capture good trading opportunities......

Our Trading Styles are discriminated as below:

1) Scalping: Short-term trades, usually betwen 2 to 15 minutes, with stops lower than 8 pips, targeting 15 pips. Generally our Scalping trades apply very low stops (5 pips) aiming quick surges in prices of around 10 pips, in a matter of a very few minutes.................................................................................................
2) Day-Trading: this is our main Trading Style where we dedicate most of our time. Their lenght is usually betwen 10 to 60 minutes, sometimes for more than 2 hours, with stops between 10 and 20 pips and targets between 20 and 60 pips...
3) Positioning: Long-Term trades based on Daily and 4-Hour charts, with stops between 20 and 40 pips, targeting minimum 60 pips. Most of these trades have Open Limits......................................................

Money Management

This is a crucial aspect of our trading, considering the different styles we apply to our trading Sessions. As the Positioning Style requires larger stops (usually the double of our Day-Trading Style), their lot size is lower than usual, generally 50% of our standard lot size. As the Scalping style requires lower stops (usually half of our Day-Trading style), their lot size is usually 150% of our standard lot size. For instance: let´s suppose that our current standard lot size is 200K. For Scalping trades the lot size will be 300K and for Positioning it will be 100K...................................
