What do MA consumers do in choppy markets, if they're any good, they have stopped out a lot and suffer the draw down until they go to a trendy period. They trade a number of markets so that portfolio drawdown isn't as severe as any 1 instrument's. Your time could be more profitably spent, choosing a system that has a winning percentage that is acceptable to your plogy and playing it's cash management/risk management, in my humble view.
