Using options strategies to trade sideways

Matt Baker 17 Apr, 2009
After most bear markets, we usually see a period of the market trending sideways. But what does ‘sideways’ really mean? A sideways market is one that goes neither strongly up nor down, but just drifts along more or less in a channel. There are however periods within the channel where the market goes up or down strongly, but when you average out the gains and losses over a period of time, perhaps a couple of months, the market hasn’t made or lost much ground.

We will do this by assessing some trades on the SPY (S&P500), AAPL (Apple Computers) and GOOG (Google). We will use real Greek values in the study, but for simplicity will round each one to the nearest whole number.
