EUR/USD
The NFP week brought a lot of fakeouts on EUR/USD’s chart. Luckily, the system was able to filter out most of them. It even produced signal #8, which yielded a cool 146 thanks to a strong NFP report. By the end of the week, the system bagged 156 pips from EUR/USD’s price action. Woot! Woot!

GBP/USD
Just like in the previous week, the HLHB System wasn’t as lucky with GBP/USD. While there were almost as many fakeouts as there were in EUR/USD, the system also invalidated signal #10 (the pre-NFP sell signal). With no trade to offset the losses, the system ended the week 56 pips down with GBP/USD. Yikes.
