Winner winner, chicken dinner! 🍗 This strategy was able to bag some big wins from its short positions. Take a look!
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 started off with a new bearish crossover that eventually generated a Stochastic pullback signal to short.
I just can’t help but worry that this latest rally might be more than just a pullback, though!
Cable already had a bearish crossover from the earlier update, and this one was able to generate a fresh short signal almost immediately.
That’s another 300 pips or 1.00% in the bag for GBP/USD this month yo!
As for EUR/JPY, the pair already had a short position opened a couple of weeks back. After a slightly larger pullback, bears were able to get their legs back and push the currency pair low enough to have its trailing stop activated.
Here’s a look at the latest positions:
SMA Crossover Pullback Positions as of June 23, 2020
| Pair | Position | Entry | SL | PT | Status | Pips | % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EUR/JPY | Short | 121.41 | 122.91 | 119.91 | Open | – | – |
| GBP/USD | Short | 1.2647 | 1.2797 | 1.2347 | Closed | +300 | +2.00 |
| EUR/USD | Short | 1.1254 | 1.1404 | 1.0954 | Open | – | – |
I’m just gonna keep my robot fingers crossed that the remaining short play on EUR/USD doesn’t erase part of these wins and that the risk-free EUR/JPY position still scores a big gain.
So far, I’m pretty happy about this strategy’s comeback this month as it scored FOUR consecutive weekly wins earlier on before taking a bit of a pause last time.
And with just a week left in the quarter, I’m excited to crunch the numbers for Q2, too!
