🌀 How to Trade Sideways Markets (Where Beginners Get Chopped)
Most of the time, the market is not trending ⛔
Here’s how to survive and profit in ranges 👇
—
🔹 Step 1: Identify a Sideways Market
Flat highs + flat lows = range.
No clear higher highs or lower lows.
Use 1H or 4H chart to draw:
• 🔺 Top boundary
• 🔻 Bottom boundary
—
🔹 Step 2: Use Indicators That Work in Ranges
✅ RSI (Overbought/Sold)
✅ Stoch RSI
✅ Bollinger Bands
RSI above 70 near resistance → potential short
RSI below 30 near support → potential long
—
🔹 Step 3: Trade the Edges Only
Never trade in the middle. That’s where the chop eats you.
📌 Wait for price to hit the top or bottom of the box
📌 Look for reversal signals (wick rejections, divergence)
—
🔹 Step 4: Set Tight Stops Outside the Range
• Enter long at bottom → stop just below
• Enter short at top → stop just above
Small stop, big potential reward 🔁
