Read all about my HLHB Trend Catcher System if this is your first time hearing about it!
EUR/USD
EUR/USD was in a pretty tight range for most of the week and only came alive on Wednesday. This trend-catcher system did its job though!
It was able to validate signal #6, which yielded a cool 99 pips and canceled out the two fakeout signals. Phew!
| # | Signal | Open | Close | Pips | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Buy | 1.2859 | 1.2839 | -20 | New crossover |
| 2 | Sell | 1.2839 | 1.2839 | 0 | RSI was already below 50 |
| 3 | Buy | 1.2850 | 1.2850 | 0 | RSI was already above 50 |
| 4 | Sell | 1.2858 | 1.2858 | 0 | RSI was already below 50 |
| 5 | Buy | 1.2860 | 1.2846 | -14 | New crossover |
| 6 | Sell | 1.2846 | 1.2747 | 99 | Trailing stop hit |
| 7 | Sell | 1.2745 | 1.2745 | 0 | RSI was already below 50 |
| TOTAL | 65 |
GBP/USD
The HLHB System wasn’t as lucky with GBP/USD. Thanks to intraday moves that are tighter than skinny jeans, a lot of valid signals turned out to be fakeouts. Good thing that signal #12 and #18 came to the rescue and still managed to cancel out most of the week’s losses.
