How to deal with choppy markets, whipsaws

Trading Systems

This week has been quite troublesome for the price action system i’ve been using (i know its only tuesday), due to many market announcements the market has been very choppy on the 4 hour charts, causing many false signals

Question: how do you like to deal with whipsaws and choppy markets?

typically i scale down my charts, normally i use 4 hour charts with 1 hours for confirmation, so when i see a choppy market or i get stopped out too many times in a row i scale down to the 1 hour with the 15 minutes for confirmation.

Are you trading breakouts?? whipsaws usually happens when the market is ranging. Buy low, sell high when you spot a range. Try to be patience and watch S/R levels in the daily and weekly…

I use MA 50 to see whether it’s trending or sideways…if it’s flat and price still touch the MA meaning it’s in sideways/consolidation…

When it’s not a good time to trade, I don’t trade. Staying out of the market can be an EV+ decision.
