A mixed forex trading week for the HLHB System, as it lost pips on EUR/USD but gained a couple on GBP/USD. Here are the deets!

EUR/USD
Though we saw a gazillion more trades on EUR/USD than last week, the results weren’t any better. In fact, thanks to tons of fakeouts and a couple of good signals that were filtered out, the system gained lost a net of 20 pips throughout the week. Too bad signal #11, the most promising, got invalidated by the RSI filter!

GBP/USD
There were fewer trade signals on GBP/USD but better results overall. There were three valid signals, two of which churned out profits. It would’ve been better if signals 5 and 7 didn’t get invalidated, but I’ll take these numbers any day!
| # | Signal | Open | Close | Pips | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Buy | 1.4634 | 1.4655 | 21 | New crossover |
| 2 | Sell | 1.4655 | 1.4655 | 0 | RSI was already below 50 |
| 3 | Buy | 1.4674 | 1.4674 | 0 | RSI was already above 50 |
| 4 | Sell | 1.4646 | 1.4654 | -8 | Trailing stop hit |
| 5 | Buy | 1.4728 | 1.4728 | 0 | RSI was already above 50 |
| 6 | Buy | 1.4775 | 1.4830 | 55 | Trailing stop hit |
| 7 | Buy | 1.4859 | 1.4859 | 0 | RSI was already above 50 |
| 8 | Sell | 1.4942 | 1.4942 | 0 | RSI was already below 50 |
| TOTAL | 68 |
Not a bad week, I think. It wouldn’t hurt to have a trending week this week though. My fingers and toes are crossed! 🙂
XOXO,
