How To Trade In Choppy Markets

Choppy markets are always a challenge for day traders. Unfortunately, choppy markets are a common hazard in trading; characterized by sudden fluctuations and whipsaw price movement, usually accompanied by volatility. (Volatility referring to the amplitude of the price movements).
Traders finding themselves in a choppy market can may consider their options:
1. Scalp.
2. Refrain from trading until the "waters" calm and a likely direction is determined.
3. Hope for the best.
As traders, we have to deal with the risk, but trading is less difficult on some days than others, particularly when there's chop. Disclaimer: Futures trading involves substantial risk and is not appropriate for everyone.
