Last week’s forex trading yielded mixed results for the HLHB System, as it lost pips on EUR/USD but gained pips on GBP/USD.

EUR/USD
Now this is what the HLHB Trend-Catcher System is all about! Though it didn’t pop up a lot of signals on EUR/USD, it was able to successfully keep out fakeouts and maximize pips on the signals that did pass the RSI filter. EUR/USD ended the week pretty much near its weekly open price, but not before the system gained 352 pips from it. Woot! Woot!
| # | Signal | Open | Close | Pips | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Buy | 1.1313 | 1.1313 | 0 | RSI was already above 50 |
| 2 | Sell | 1.1333 | 1.1333 | 0 | RSI was already below 50 |
| 3 | Buy | 1.1351 | 1.1483 | 132 | Adjusted stop loss hit |
| 4 | Sell | 1.1446 | 1.1354 | 92 | Adjusted stop loss hit |
| 5 | Sell | 1.1448 | 1.1320 | 128 | End-of-week trade |
| TOTAL | 352 |
GBP/USD
Though the system’s performance on GBP/USD wasn’t as stellar as in EUR/USD, it wasn’t too bad either. Only signal #5 turned out to be a fakeout, and even its losses wasn’t enough to offset gains from signals 1, 4, and 8. By the end of the week the system gained 133 pips on GBP/USD. Not bad!
| # | Signal | Open | Close | Pips | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sell | 1.5044 | 1.5039 | 5 | New crossover |
| 2 | Buy | 1.5039 | 1.5039 | 0 | There was no crossover |
| 3 | Sell | 1.5024 | 1.5024 | 0 | There was no crossover |
| 4 | Buy | 1.5056 | 1.5148 | 92 | Adjusted stop loss hit |
| 5 | Sell | 1.5184 | 1.5206 | -22 | New crossover |
| 6 | Buy | 1.5206 | 1.5206 | 0 | RSI was already above 50 |
| 7 | Buy | 1.5326 | 1.5326 | 0 | RSI was already above 50 |
| 8 | Sell | 1.5295 | 1.5237 | 58 | End-of-week trade |
| TOTAL | 133 |
Hoping for more trendy moves (and less fakeouts) next week!
XOXO,
