Trading Choppy summer markets - insights?

[maxinger]

I disagree with your sentiment perspective,
Every day, in every market, there is money to be made....and it is always tradable,

That's like saying a Karate man or Boxer can only win against an opponent if his hands are tied behind his back, or one arm is missing.
An expert trader can, and should, be able to carve out profits consistently, more or less, regardless of market conditions,

It's a matter of understanding, observations, realizations, and expectations,
Any Fool can profit, and brag about it, during obvious trending bull markets or bear markets, days. But the wise trader has a much more profound track record doing so, overall,

different traders trade differently.

so do what best suits you.

some traders enjoy trading choppy big rangebound markets.
Well. good luck to them.

Trends begin from the 5 day moving average more often than not.
Chop is coming from Biden exporting most of our oil, inflating prices.
Biden mafia could end inflation anytime they want.

Lost your way to the Politics section, Biden on the lame brain.

5 day moving average lol.

Adapt. Ranges take a front seat to all indicators that requires trends.
Simple as changing hats.

small rangebound - untradable

not choppy big rangebound - very tradable

%%
GOOD points or % LOL
One small point i would differ on, mr max;
a small range[aka slop chop trend ] on a five minute noise chart is mostly noise\LOL
SO depending....... a small chop-slop trend[aka=range or barbed wire range]; can be an entry or exit, but i seldom trade that ''noise ''
Funny thing about a 5 minute noise chart ; Don Bright DayTrading
Co did not like them either , said '' it was to long'' LOL\true.
