Indicators used in trending markets will be different from those used in trendless markets.
Position: N/A
| A trendless market is range-bound, making small up-and-down movements with the only discernable direction being sideways. They often appear to be choppy but always remain within a fairly defined range. |
| Studies have shown that markets trend less frequently than fluctuate within a trading range, with the approximate ratio being 20:80. When a market is in a trading range, your objective should be to build profits by taking advantage of the smaller price movements. |
|
| This chart of AMD's price movement highlights their current trading range. The stochastic indicator is displayed in the bottom section. The arrows indicate buy and sell signals. |

| Support and resistance systems are ideal during a trading range. You can expect to see high percentage returns on your wins although the amount of profit per trade will be smaller than those in trending markets. |
| Indicators that would be effective during trendless markets are overbought/oversold indicators or oscillators such as stochastics and relative strength index (RSI). They generate buy signals when the market reverses from an oversold condition and generate sell signals when the market reverses from an overbought condition. Oscillators are used to identify market tops and bottoms within trading ranges. |
| The chart of Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] displays the effectiveness of using the slow stochastic while the stock is going through a trading range. Notice the correspondence between the buy signals and market bottoms and sell signals and market tops. |
