Fear of the ranging market

This is one fear that plagued me as a beginner. Whenever I saw a ranging market, I became confused and kept switching from buy to sell till I burnt out.

But now I know better, if I see a ranging market I just look for the candle stick pattern that started it and place my stop loss below it.

I dont panic even if I see price going towards the stop loss, I just hold my position and wait for a breakout.
