System Update: SMA Crossover Pullback (Apr. 14 – 21)

Another week, another set of new crossovers! Was this mechanical system able to bag some pips off these early exits at least?

If this is the first time you’re reading about the SMA Crossover Pullback system, make sure you look at the trading rules and risk management adjustments first.

EUR/USD had a long position left open in the earlier update, but the pair barely made any upside before tumbling back down and seeing a bearish crossover.

Stochastic hasn’t quite reached the overbought region just yet, so no new positions have been opened on EUR/USD so far.

Cable had a bullish crossover from its earlier update that was eventually followed by a stochastic pullback signal to go long.

A bearish crossover looks imminent and the position would likely be closed for a small loss, too. Bah!

As for EUR/JPY, the pair had a long position left open in the previous update and it also had to be closed for a small loss on a new crossover.

A stochastic pullback signal to short soon materialized, and I’m gonna keep my robot fingers crossed that this fares better!

Unfortunately, sideways price action followed and a new crossover materialized. A new long position was opened before the end of the week.

Here’s a look at the latest positions:

Trade Summary:

Not such a good start to this quarter, huh?
