I usually choose fairly volatile market sessions such as European and American markets, so I rarely encounter slow or sideway markets, but when I find a slow market I usually just wait and see.

When the market is slow we should do other activities outside of trading, it is feared that if we continue to monitor the chart then the greed will come out and dominate, it will be very risky.

when the market is slow I scalping with TP pips....
Scalping is short term trading and might still work in slow movement, but scalping also will make your tension arise due low volatility needs higher patience and yet if your decision in wrong direction, its will cause the loss in row

many things can be done when the market sideway, in my opinion it is best to close the chart and carry out other activities because it is feared that it will trigger our negative nature of forced entry.

The market is sometimes even way in a session that is usually crowded, it is natural because the volume of demand and supply is very small and the market could be experiencing hibernation in preparation for larger price movements, so we should just wait and see.

Some things that can be done when the market is slow is the same as when we overcome boredom, can be refurbished or doing other activities that can divert us towards a doubtful market.

I trade in one session and usually if in that session the market is quiet or consolidated then I will only wait and see but sometimes I cross out with a trendline to capture opportunities when the market is crowded.

if the market has low volatility, what needs to be done is to stop trading or close the trading platform because when the market is quiet it will be difficult to find a good trading signal and we will instead fall into curiosity to want to entry.

If the market is slow or moving sideways, there are 2 things you can do, wait and see or trade with scalping strategies. I think it depends on what skills and styles you have so that we can make the decision to trade or wait.

I used to place pending orders when the market was slow but sometimes I immediately entered because I lost the good moment. I did not do anything negative because I knew that in unfavorable market conditions we would open a position without firm reasons.

when the market is moving choopy or sideway then we should wait while looking for entry opportunities with several analysis scenarios and we can also place pending orders according to our analysis scenario.

slow market has become commonplace and if we have the ability and strategy to face a slow market then we can apply it but if not then we should wait until the market conditions are what we want.

My bias will only wait and sometimes I look for entry opportunities by placing pending orders when the market is slow. So I can't be trapped in the sideway market because I know the risks.

if the market is in a sideway condition or very calm then we can use the pending order strategy by analyzing, it can also be an opportunity for a vacation and so on.

usually I will wait when the market is very slow and does not show the slightest entry, but sometimes I refresh by doing a few other activities to prevent forced transactions.
