When It comes to a ranging market, there are a lot of options on how to go about it, you can decide to a lot of things which we will discuss below but all depends on your level of mastery and also most importantly your risk appetite.
1) Sit On Your Hands: This is the mainstream advise by contemporary forex traders, they advise you to sit on your hands and do nothing, when the market is ranging you can go take your family out or do something that you've been wanting to do, bottom line is stay away from the market.
2) Dial Down: When the market is ranging another option is to dial down to lower timeframes and look for opportunities, if the daily timeframe is ranging, you can go to the 4h timeframe and take a trade, if the 4h is ranging, dial down to the 1h and take a trade, with this you'll be able to get scrap some dollars off the market.
Either of the option is fine when you're trading a ranging market, it largely depends on your risk appetite, personally I switch to a small account and take risks, what will you do if you're in this position.
