Been thinking about ways for a trend trading system to survive during chop. A trend system will make money if there is a trend but will die when there isn't a trend, ie during chop/sideways. So somehow avoid chop or enable it to breakeven during chop and it will be robust.
Some ways which i've been mulling over:
>Only place order if no more than x orders placed within last x bars
>Only in direction of parabolic SAR,Moving Average,ADX etc..
>Max 1 entry per X bars, X hours, days etc
>Entry must be opposite previous parabolic SAR
>1 order to trade trend and 1 to take profit at 2:1 RR (to essentially switch to scalping during chop)
>Trade direction only to be in same direction as higher timeframe bias
etc...
Basically hoping for more ideas which will plant a seed in my mind to sprout days to weeks later lol.
