Hi folks!

The market is trending around 20% of the time and is in a ranging sideways condition around 80% of the time.

So how come that i can only see trending systems at forums like this?

I have searched and searched but i can't find any information and/or any system that is developed for ranging market conditions.

I don't know if i'm looking in a wrong way or what....

But i would appriciate any suggestions were to find information and/or systems for ranging markets.

Hi,

Take a look at the last issue of Currency Trader Magazine. Google for it, it's free on the web. There's an article by Kathy Lien about ranging market strategies.

Thank you. Do you know if it is an article from her book "Trading the currency market"?
I have just started to read it but have yet not come so far.

Pitchforks are the ultimate ranging tool. They do alright with the trend as well.

Hmmm... it seems to be ordinary trendlines... right?

For myself on Range day's, i trade them very similar, if not the same as Trend days...i'm still looking for activity about S/R (prior day's OHLC, Fibo, HBs, etc) and what is/has taken place during the Pre London Open session and what the London folk are going to do.

Do you even get any signals at ranging markets? Let's say you use Sidus Method in a ranging day will you get signals then? I don't think that (have not looked at it).
I could think that same trending system that works for 1H chart might work in ranging day at 15M chart... but then i also belive it could produce many false signals?

I think this is also one of my biggest 'trading system' questions. Its relatively simple to deal with trends it seems with my early experience as long as you're not too smart, its more a matter of identifying when a ranging condition exists and safely being able to take (obviously smaller) profits from it. Looking up the old Currency Trader Magazine now, any other ideas?
