Advanced Trading Methods

Trying to come up with some way to avoid chop -- it looks like woodie's chop zone indicator may be the best way, but i need to work on this. Some other things to consider:

1. when the 3/8 cross keeps flipping back and forth on the 5 min
2. the ADX on some time frame, not sure which is best
3. the RSI 5 on the 60 min; when it does not get OB or OS, that market is range bound. The RSI on the QQQQ was between 30 and and about 65 for the past 3 days, until today.
4. just look at an ema (maybe the 34, or 50, or a longer ema) on the 5 min chart -- if it is flat across the chart, the prices are flat.
5. the CCI 14 will stay in between the +/-100 lines in chop.

Funny how it is so hard to see the forest for the trees; it should be obvious the market is choppy when the price doesn't go anywhere.
