EUR/USD
Talk about fakeouts! EUR/USD popped up A LOT of fakeouts throughout the week when it consolidated around the 1.3500 area. We only saw a breakout when Draghi was optimistic in his ECB press conference and even then the HLHB system signal was too late. It’s all part of the backtesting, I guess. *sigh*

GBP/USD
GBP/USD also ranged tightly for most of the week but like the other profitable weeks, the system popped up a signal that erased all of the earlier losses. Thanks to signal #9, we got a 30-pip gain on Cable. Not bad!
