Sideways action? That's the graveyard for most traders.
No clear direction. Just endless headfakes and liquidity grabs hunting your stops.
Here's what actually works: slash your position size by half (or even 70%). Sit tight until a real breakout emerges. Or be ruthless—only enter those crystal-clear, high-conviction plays.
Staying in the game beats everything else.

The sideways market is really a meat grinder. I got trapped twice just last week, and reducing positions has definitely saved me quite a few times.

Reducing your position by 70% is truly the ultimate move; it's far better than holding on and risking a complete loss.

Reduced position by 70%? I’ve been doing that for a while, just never got that breakout I was waiting for. Honestly feeling pretty hopeless.

Sideways trading is just a trap, I learned that early on.

Sideways trading is a meat grinder, I've seen through it long ago.

Sideways consolidation really is a place to get liquidated, stop-losses are getting triggered one after another...

Sideways trading is a death trap; I've been stuck too many times already.
