About Swiss Franc / Japanese Yen
CHF/JPY is the exchange rate between the Swiss franc and the Japanese yen. The price shows how many Japanese yen one Swiss franc buys: when CHFJPY rises, the Swiss franc is strengthening against the Japanese yen; when it falls, it is weakening.
CHF/JPY is a cross pair: neither side is the US dollar, so its price reflects the balance between Switzerland and Japan directly. The Swiss franc is backed by Switzerland's stable economy and is widely treated as a safe-haven currency. The Japanese yen has long been used as a funding currency because of Japan's low interest rates, and it often strengthens when markets turn risk-averse.
On Xellion's MT5 platform CHFJPY is traded as a CFD, so you can go long or short without exchanging either currency. One standard lot is 100,000 Swiss francs, and one pip is 0.01, as with other pairs quoted in yen.
