Sideways Market Strategies Workshop Overview
Proven Strategies to Profit When Price Goes Nowhere:
Learn about distinct strategies—from cash alternatives to advanced options techniques—that will give you the courage and confidence you need to profit in sideways conditions while dramatically increasing your chances for long-term trading success.
- No matter what time frame you trade or what method you use to measure them, Sideways markets happen between 59% and 65% of the time!
- Sideways markets can be hard to recognize, making it difficult to enter and exit effectively. In fact, they demand a completely different mindset to trade well.
- And yet sideways markets are rarely discussed, even in professional circles.
- When you encounter them trading becomes much more challenging, stressing your systems and your psychology beyond your normal comfort zone.
This is why at the Van Tharp Institute we felt it was imperative to go beyond just the concepts…and offer our students the opportunity to learn specific market methods, including the unique mental states, beliefs, and strategies that will give you the edge you need to successfully trade Sideways markets.
Do you know which market type is the most lethal to traders?
I will give you a hint; it has nothing to do with an animal. Most traders who have handled their psychological issues and who have defined trading systems can do well in either a Bull or a Bear Market. With volatility high or low, at least you can still find trends and profit.
So, what market type tends to kill traders? (psychologically or monetarily – not physically)
The answer is the Sideways market.
You know, the one where you might trade for small wins and losses annoyed by the lack of any price movement or aggravated by the whipsaws up and down within a range.
That is, you trade until your confidence erodes to the point of you turning off the screen and walking away — ending any chance of you hitting your objective.
That’s a shame because the sideways market type exists for a majority of pretty much any trading period you pick … Did you know that? (Don’t worry, a lot of traders don’t know that statistic either.)
- What if you knew how to recognize sideways markets right away?
- What if you had strategies specifically designed for sideways market conditions?
- What if you could make money trading for more than 50% of the time in any given market?
If you didn’t know any differently, you might have thought that starting off with sideways trading strategies would make more sense than focusing on bull or bear market systems since they happen only roughly one-quarter of the time each.
That’s why we have developed an unprecedented workshop… one where you will learn the exact strategies you can use to not just survive, but also thrive in this common, but little-discussed market.
