​Double Doji Strategy: Allow Profits of Hundreds of Pips

When two dojis form one after one on the charts, traders can consider the Double Doji Forex Breakout Trading Strategy.

The doji is one of the most popular candlestick patterns, which reveals indecision in the market. It suggests that neither buyers nor sellers are in control and that price is about to break in either direction. It doesnt matter whether the market is going to go up or down at this point because a clear trend will emerge afterwards. Whichever way it goes, the thing you need to do is place pending buy stop and sell stop orders on both sides to capture the breakout.
