“Huck loves her bucks!” I always say. The problem, of course, is how to make those bucks!! In this blog, I'll be posting my adventures as I traverse the forex world, while trying to catch some pips along the way. To do this, I will make use of classical charting methods as well as develop my own It appears that it wasn't only my discretionary trading that performed well in Q2 2012 but my mechanical system as well! After a quick review of my previous posts, it looks like the HLHB Trend-Catcher 3.0 also raked in the pips! Take a look!

General observations on HLHB Trend-Catcher 3.0's performance:
*Struggled in April due to the number of fakeouts
*There were no big trends on EUR/USD towards May
*Lots of small losing trades but the few big wins more than made up for it
*The 200-pip profit target was never hit
*Trades left open over the weekend ALWAYS closed as winners
I've been thinking of tweaking my system for quite a while now, but every time I'm about to do it, the system gets a bunch of big wins! I guess I just have to bite the bullet whenever the system experiences those terrible drawdowns. Eventually, the system will catch the big trends.
As the old adage goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" Until the HLHB Trend-Catcher 3.0 truly messes up, I think I'm going to keep the rules as they are.
XOXO,
Huck
