One way to deal with choppyness is to find a liquid stock that moves a lot and trade the 5 minute candles. When(if) it moves with the chop take the profits it showing you.

Case in point ERX

Went long, short, now long again,

now short again. grabbing .30 on each move. watch the clock and move your move right before the 5 minute clock changes to display a new candle.
