#1 Range-bound trading (50 SMA angle)
Submitted by Edward Revy on December 17, 2009 - 17:40.
One of the methods to detect a range-bound market is by looking at the angle of the Moving average.
If, for example, our Moving average (MA) is rising fast - the angle of the MA line on the chart will get steeper and steeper.
Already at this early stage we can make a conclusion: if the angle of the Moving average is rising – the trend is getting stronger. If the angle is dropping – the trend is getting weaker.
If the angle of the moving average is insignificant, close to flat or is flat – we know that the market has entered its sideways mode.

setup? entry & exit?
the sma angle has its shortcoming,it's hard to decide which period to use.50sma ? 60sma or 100sma. I found that when I use the 50 sma, sometime the price would range around the 50 sma. it's best to use the 90 sma angle,but 90 sma is not much sensitivity at that time.

A help from traders would be appreciated.

Helo Ed;
I just want to share how to detect Range or Trending Market, but unfortunately this
tehnique I just try & apply only in EUR/USD at H1 TimeFrame; please feel free to tweak.
Here's The Deal:
At EUR/USD Timeframe H1; try to put this 2 Indicators : ATR(14) & Standard Deviation(14)
Now here's the rules ...
If you find ATR(14) > then the Standar Deviation(14) it means EUR/USD = Ranging/Sideways.
If you find ATR(14) < then the Standar Deviation(14) it means EUR/USD = Trending.
The Logic behinds is; if the SD is smaller then the ATR it means Market in range of the 14 bars because ATR is meassure the range (high to low) of the N bars (in this case 14 bars); BUT if SD is more large then the ATR it means Market break the boundries of High to Low 14 Bars Range
& the result Market is Trending.
Please feel free for comment Bro Edward.
Happy Trading ;)
