How to detect choppy market

[roar]

A challenge for the community: Present the best way to detect a ranging, choppy, non-trending market.

There are many options to do this, but many indicators seem to either filter too agressively or not at all.

I will start with something a bit less ordinary, my own indicator that consists of RSI and a soup of moving averages. When white line is between 45-55, market is ranging (counter-trend strategies are safe). I came up with this in the last 10 minutes, so it is probably not quite perfect.

@roar Nice
I will definitely take a look at this. Have you got an MT4 version or is it easy enough to convert?

@roar Muy buen aporte!

would you think to use less lagging MA than SMA?
