I recall the first time I was asked about how to identify the switch between Chop and Trend. The question came to me as “what indicator can I use to spot the shift between chop and trend before anyone else sees it”. The answer was of course “none” – you can certainly get indicators that show it but the “early” part is the problem. Indicators need too much information to make this assessment but the good news is – you don’t.

In fact, few people ever take a step back and consider how significant it is to be able to see these switches between trend and chop. The 2 conditions require the opposite approach to trading and so it ends up being one of the most important rule in your setup
