HIGHER Timeframe Trend is Your Friend - Profitable Trading System

The Chop Zone indicator attempts to determine if a market is trending or consolidating. This study is based on the Choppiness Index created by Australian commodities trader E.W. "Bill" Dreiss.

I deploy the Chop Zone as a key component of a complete trading system that has been proven profitable over a series of 100 trades. In addition, I review the equity curve, provide a Trader's Landing Score, and share my 6 optimization tips that you can try in your own testing.
