Apparently its easier to write the index methodology than to follow it!

Japan is a high conviction long bet on the macro bull wedge eventually breaking to the upside with washout risk to 26,000 in September. 29,000 is the bigger breakout level that would give a macro green light. 28k was the tactical long trigger to test wedge resistance at 29k.Bull conviction on the Nikkei was to buy a new low or a break above 28,000. We closed our short and turned long above 28,000 (28,080), stop below 27,900. Target at 29,000 (28,900). Above 29,000 would target 31,000 in due course.
