Following these tips in demo mode will mean you are learning something helpful and passing the time without being almost convinced to jump into a real trade when the conditions are not right. Maybe the choppy market is a reaction to something like antagonistic announcements in 2 different states.

Check the support and resistance lines. Are they converging? This could mean that a breakout is coming. You can place orders outside the range of the lines, a buy order in case the price breaks much above the lines, and a sell order in case in breaks below.

On the other hand, if the SR lines are approximately parallel? If so , you can expect the market to turn when it reaches them. This is often a first signal for a short day trade.

Think about whether there are any other related currency pairs and if that is the case take a look at what is happening with their prices. Do they support your proposed trade? As an example, there is typically an inverse linkage between EUR/USD and USD/CHF, so that when one is falling the other will rise. EUR/GBP and GBP/CHF have an inverse relation too.

It is critical to exit as fast as your profit target or stop loss fires. Forex currency trade strategies in a choppy market are always going to involve short term trading..
