The Asian markets were quite weak today.
Time to start shorting or to hold the horses until after 3Q Window Dressing on Oct 1 or the US Presidential Election ?
Maybe it's time to take small positions to "feel" things ...

Looks like a dangerous time to be shorting the market, especially during US earning seasons and just before the presidential election ...

The Dow is down 200 points.
Is this the set-up that you are looking for ?
Will you dare to short on the technical rebound ?

With the US market down 200 points, it may be time to buy some HK Bear Puts, first thing tomorrow morning.
As long as the HK market dont gap downwards at the opening, say 300 points, I will go for the ride.
If they do gap downwards, I will time my entry at either S2 or S3.
At 40x to 50x times leverge, if the Hang Seng drops 2%, I could make 80% to 100% on the Bear Puts.
I will probably put my stop loss at around 7% or 5-8 pips, depending on the situation.
If things do go my way, I should try to get out by 11.40am.
The last time I traded some Bear Puts, I was stopped out within a few minutes. And if I did not have a Stop Loss that day, I would have lost lot of money .

When the Dow dropped 220 points on Friday, I thought that HK will drop on Monday morning.
Instead, it held it's ground and was even positive by the end of the day. Luckily, I did not but any Puts that day.
Now, the Dow is down 240 points. Will HK be still unaffected today ?
