This is range bound and a lot of it could qualify as chop .
I'm just a simple man trading a simple plan.

That was my point.
Everyone has different criteria for trading methods as well as what qualifies as chop , range bound , Good/Bad trading opportunities.
You saw opportunities for "LOTS" of trades. The way I trade called for 1 trade which went to +60 .

The baseline is EMA((EMA,10),10)
The bands are 20 tick offsets.

That is a smoothed ema or a double ema (and ema of an ema).
This indicator I posted in the elite downloads. It will let you use a double or single moving avaerge of a bunch of different types. To make a double EMA , set both choices to EMA with the same length
