Funny I was playing Unreal Tournament 2004 the other day for the specific purpose to train those reflexes and concentration. 1 on 1 deathmatch is intense. You need to find a way to beat your opponent, think long term with the overall strategy of the map, think short term and make good reactionary actions and know when to attack and when to retreat. And everything you do is take information from your surroundings for that one clear goal, get the next frag.

Yep, but don’t forget to do something unpredictable from time to time so ur not that easy to read.

How is someone in a very liquid market read? I'm new to trading, it's not like poker where your every action is scrutinized by all your opponents is it?
