GER40

10月8日

Markets seem to be in a situation where the risk of continued buying is becoming the riskier option. I'm seeing failed rallies to the high side throughout some of the European stock indices such as Germany and France. Currently France looks like the weakest. I'm in a German position but I'm considering also entering a short on France. My stop loss would be around 7620 which protects the position from the last four daily highs. I'll be observing price action around the daily highs and lows of Germany as I feel like a small bounce coming off a good night in the United states could carry us through into the stop loss territory. Asian markets dumped heavily today and Europe is not off to a great start. I'm trying to find some good news or reasons to buy the United States in case I am missing something. Markets are dropping as I am writing this so I'll take a pause and pick the country that best suits a short position. I'm being cautious that holding multiple short positions on country stock indices increases my overall risk.

It takes at least two days on average for price to drop the 1.5% that I would like to see on this trade. The risk to reward is only 1 / 3 but I would like to reach the number 3 sooner by adding to the position somewhere along the way.
