AEX Daily Journal

AEX (AEX Daily Chart)

25-05-2020: long term trend is up, intermediate term trend is down and short term trend is up; because price is above support at 490 and above the 8 day EMA there is an upward bias, however 530 is formidable resistance

26-05-2020: we bested 530 (static resistance) again; let's see if it will act as support now; next target 545 

27-05-2020: 530 acted as support yesterday; let's see if it holds today; next target 545

28-05-2020: 530 didn't really hold yesterday, but the resistance range 527,50-530 did; still upward bias, therefore next target is 545

29-05-2020 bullish breakout; now 530 is resistance and should hold; targets are 545 and 560

S/D-S/R abbreviates static and dynamic support/resistance levels. EMA stands for exponential moving average.

Trend is defined by the position of highs and lows and/or the existence of a clear trend channel. Consolidation (accumulation/distribution) usually means a breach of dynamic but not of static support/resistance. Corrections usually imply a breach of both.

I only consider very clean Japanese Candlestick signals (JCS) in the direction of the trend preferably from an oversold or overbought Slow Stochastic (SS). 8EMA is the position of price versus the 8 day EMA.

Stoplosses are on a closing basis.

For actual trading I use capped futures (limited downside risk) and options.
