Trading Rules

Rule 1: Day Trading is not a strategy to get rich quickly

Rule 2: Day Trading is not easy. It is a serious business, and you should treat it as such

Rule 3: Day Traders do not hold positions overnight. If necessary, you must sell with a loss to make sure you do not hold
onto any stock overnight

Rule 4: Always ask, "Is the stock moving because the overall market is moving, or is it moving because it has a unique
fundament catalyst."

Rule 5: Success in day trading comes from risk management - finding low-risk entries with a high potential reward. The
minimum win:lose ratio for me is 2:1

Rule 6: Your broker will buy and sell stocks for you at the Exchange. Your only job as a day trader is to manage risk. You
cannot be a successful day trader without excellent risk management skills, even if you are the master of many effective
strategies.

Rule 7: Retail traders trade only Stocks in Play, high relative volume stocks that have fundamental catalyst and are being
traded regardless of the overall market.

Rule 8: Experienced traders are like guerrilla soldiers. They jump out at just the right time, take their profit and get out.

Rule 9: Hollow candlesticks, where the close is greater than the open, indicate buying pressure. Filled candlesticks,
where the close is less than the open, indicate selling pressure.

Rule 10: Indicators only indicate; they should not be allowed to dictate.

Rule 11: Profitable trading does not involve emotion. If you are an emotional trader, you will lose your money.

Rule 12: ….
