These are more challenging to profit from and are not for the faint of heart. In essence, a sideways moving market is like a condensed version of a rising and falling market. Instead of having a prolonged upward or downward trend, a sideways moving market goes up and down in very short intervals. The opportunity to profit here is to know when the market will go up and when it will go down and to act accordingly.The risk is high here, however, as the intervals to take advantage of the upward and downward movement are compressed.There are three types of markets that a successful investor or trader can profit from. They are a rising market, a falling market, and a sideways market. When you develop your trading plan, make sure to account for how you will deal with all three.
