Good afternoon, dear followers of RVM Retirement. Here is our monthly overview for October 2026.

Our trading in October

October ultimately turned out to be a good month for the AEX, even though we saw price pullbacks during the month similar to those in July. So the index is moving forward, but it remains a bit like the Echternach procession: one step forward, then a few steps back, and then up again.

In September, we received a trend-long signal, with a higher calculated price target. We subsequently took a trend position in an AEX ETF—the calmest and best way to establish a position based on a price target. The price target wasn’t reached in September, but the trend signal remained intact. In October, the price target was reached, but at the same time, a higher price target was generated. So we held the position until the price target of 1141 was reached, at which point we took profits.

The gold position

We are still holding the gold position, even though, according to our trend system, gold has entered a downtrend. It’s never a bad idea to own gold, so we’ve held onto the position. Incidentally, we had opened the position at a price that seemed achievable, despite the trend short signal. As of late October, the position is still open at that same price.

In summary

It was a fairly typical month for Retirement, aside from the lower value of gold.
