System Update: SMA Crossover Pullback (Nov. 10 – 17)

Got a fresh set of signals on this mechanical system! Have any positions caught some pips yet?

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 new bullish crossover in the earlier update, and a valid long signal emerged as Stochastic climbed out of the oversold region.

Even though the pair gained a bit of bullish momentum after bouncing off support, the position had to be closed early on a new crossover.

This early exit resulted in a tiny loss for EUR/USD, but it might’ve saved the pair from a much larger one in case selling pressure picks up from here.

GBP/USD also had a bullish crossover in the earlier update, and this was followed by a long signal as well.

So far, Cable is keeping its head above support but the gap between the moving averages is narrowing to reflect weakening bullish momentum.

As for EUR/JPY, a long position was also opened following a bullish crossover from the previous week.

This pair appears to be consolidating and turning slightly lower, though.

Here’s a look at the latest positions:
