This is a FullyInformed Members strategy article studying the Spy Put Options Strategy to assist readers in improving their profits and understanding when and how to trade during choppy markets like today (June 11 2013) .As regular readers know I use the Spy Put Options to take advantage of downturns in the market direction. The results can be excellent if the trades are conducted properly. I only trade within the Spy Put Options when the trend is definitely lower. This morning (June 11 2013) market direction opened with a gap down. So what is the normal course of action I would take on such a day?

This strategy article discusses the importance of understanding the overall market direction despite the morning gap down opening. It shows how to select when to enter a Spy Put Options trade in such an environment and how to protect from losses if the entry is wrong.
