A pretty mixed week for the HLHB Trend-Catcher System, as it got hit with tons of forex fakeouts on EUR/USD and GBP/USD. Yipes!
Read all about my HLHB Trend Catcher System if this is your first time hearing about it!
EUR/USD
Fakeout galore! With no major data on tap and traders unwilling to take positions while Greek and Eurogroup officials are hashing out Greece’s debt deal, EUR/USD was in a tight range for most of the week. Though the system had 13 signals on the pair, only 4 of them were valid and half of them even turned out to be losses. Boo!

GBP/USD
Much like EUR/USD, Cable also had a ranging week. Mixed reports from the U.K. and the U.S. didn’t help, of course. The only difference is that the HLHB Trend-Catcher System somehow managed to gain a net of 2 pips by the end of the week. Not bad, I guess.
