<p>Traders often have to think fast and make quick decisions, darting in and out of stocks on short notice. To accomplish this, they need a certain presence of mind.

I trade using dojis, Double Top and Double Bottoms, Candle formation and Advanced Patterns. If one of my rules completes, I trade. Except in a situation like the FOMC statement today. That’s one of my rules. There wasn’t any emotion about the Announcement, I just didn’t trade. I know this is a worn out saying, but every trader should follow it. Plan your Trade and Trade you Plan.
