There is no single method which will work in trends and in sideways ranges. The moment the market shows us that it is in sideways range, we have to start selling near higher boundries and buying near lower boundries.The sideways range is indicated only when the attempt to breakout out of the upper boundry is failed and market comes back in the range and then we get out of long positions without waiting for our stops to get hit.
Just like how we traded todays breakdown failure....we were expecting a large and fast move down but when market came back in the range or pivot low it broke, we got out of shorts trades much before our stops are hit....making money even on failed trades.
