DAX 30 STOCKS LIST

There is a lot of uncertainty going on right now in the DAX due to the global crisis of the Coronavirus. News both positive and negative affects markets and the Coronavirus is definitely bad news that's rattling the markets around the world. Up until February 2020, the DAX was on a nice run, and then it completely tanked in late February.

This didn't just happen to Germany's stock market though, the virus has tanked most of the major indexes. Make sure to read our latest blog post: Will Coronavirus Crash the Stock Market?

How to Profit When the Dax Loses Money

For those that are prepared, you can make a lot of money as the DAX declines. Bear market trading is a very popular trading strategy, especially when there are sharp declines. Day traders and swing traders love this type of trading. Again, options can be used as a hedging strategy on the DAX index for current investments on stocks, or they can be used to trade for profit.

The bears were hoping for awhile going into 2020 that the markets would fall like they did in February but they kept getting trapped until the Coronavirus hit. Then they took control and the bulls got hammered. Now, we have to wait and see what happens. Again, there is a ton of news and many more cases of the virus spreading around the globe, which is most certainly going to affect all of the global markets until something changes.

What to Watch for

If you're bullish on the DAX then you want to see price start to get above the 50 simple moving average on the weekly charts and to hold support. Then you'd ideally like to see price get above the 9 ema and hold for the bull market to continue. The problem is that is a lot of resistance to overcome. If price action can't get above those resistance lines again then the bull run might be over with and we may be entering a bear market.

Bear markets aren't very fun for the DAX or any type of long term investment strategies. We've had a couple of major ones over the recent years in 2000 and 2008, which wreaked havoc on the markets. This is why it's important to understand candlestick patterns, trendlines, and how price action works, so you can be prepared with your investment strategies.

If your investments are in risky funds at the top of markets then there's a good chance that you could give back a ton of your profits when the steep declines hit. This is where proper risk management strategies come in with your investment portfolio.

Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy

Warren Buffet has a saying to be fearful when other people are greedy and greedy when other people are fearful. What does this mean? When people get overconfident at the tops of markets and start buying at resistance levels, this is a great way to get trapped and caught of guard. Many of times traders take profits at resistance levels or news catches people of guard and panic selling ensues.

Also, the inverse is true. Many of times the markets sell off heavily and traders or investors get too nervous to buy. Warren Buffet provides good advice but it's important to know how this all plays out in the real world. That's why it's so important to learn how to read the charts to be prepared. 

So, you need to be careful buying at the tops of markets, but also be careful trying to catch a falling knife as markets fall before they've reached support levels and have held.

Buy Low Sell High

The term buy low and sell high sounds good and is true but most investors don't know how this plays out on stock charts. If you try to buy low as price is still falling and hasn't found a bottom, this is very risky. Sadly, this is what happens to most traders and investors. They don't patiently wait for reversals to take place. They listen to news or speculation and this is how they get burnt many of times.

Look for doji or hammer candlesticks on the charts. You ideally want to see theses candlesticks off major support levels on weekly and monthly charts off major moving average lines like the 50 and 200 sma. Once you see this happen, then you might look to go long at the breaks above these candlesticks but keep an eye on major overhead resistance levels such as the 9 and 20 ema. Just because a reversal takes place doesn't mean it won't reject at those levels again. ​
