Ranging or trending

Dear friends:
is there some method to decide where the market is ranging or trending.
i think it is very important.
my system can win in the ranging market, but i lose my profit in a trending market
i am so confused about it?
regards

Pro-cyclical currency instruments would normally go northward in bull markets, as prices are breaking more and more supply levels. On the other hand, anti-cyclical currency instruments tend to exhibit a measure of strength only in bear markets, as prices are breaking more and more demand levels. Sometimes a confirmed bias may last longer than one imagines.

I have tested many of this kind of strategies, I have several that will do very nicely in one state and badly in another, it's all about how much of the bad it can take. Does your strategy wipe you out in a 200 pip trend? 300 pips? It all depends on how much risk you are willing to take, because you can only lower the probability of wiping out using the past. It's all about educated guesses and luck
