Most effective way of avoiding whipsaws / ranging markets

[jzfusion]

What is the best/effective way to avoid a market that is not trending. I wnat to know how some of you have solved that problem when using fxdreema. Do you employ indicators or is there some more effective price action tactic to allow the EA to pause until the trend begins. I'm sure it's not simple but I'll still like to hear.

@jzfusion I like roar's suggestion of combining a short period ATR (14) with a long one (144), for example. IMHO it offers a very good picture of trendy and side markets.

@l-andorrà
How do I combine them. A sort of crossover between the 2?

@jzfusion Just look at price behaviour when one is above the other. Then you will be able to adjust when you thing prie is trendy or not. Ther is no 'magical' solution, I'm afraid.
