    If trend following, can money management save you in chop?

    Howdy folks, is there a way for money management to save you from losing as much in chop if you are trend following? For example, sizing up/down (or is that just martingale-esque?). This is assuming your signals can't determine any difference between trending/chop. It would be nice if anyone...
