Instead of forcing entries, I started copy trading just to stay in the market without over-managing things. Been using BingX for that lately.
If you don't get any entry, just wait and continue to study the market and plot your entry until you get one. Those traders you are copying are also humans like you and they can make mistakes which can be resulting to losses during what you called a boring market. If you don't see any good chance to take trade, use the period to study the market and maybe you can also check out other pairs which you might be lucky to see a pair that gives you an entry.
