No One is Born a Great Trader, One Learns by Trading.

1. Amount of capital to use: Divide your capital into 10 equal parts and never risk more than one-tenth of your capital on any one trade. 2. Use stop-loss orders. Always protect a trade when you make it with a stop-loss order 3 to 5 points away. 3. Never overtrade. This would be violating your capital rule. 4. Never let a profit run into a loss. After you once have a profit of 3 points or more, raise your stop loss so that you will have no loss of capital. 5. Do not buck the trend. Never buy or sell if you are not sure of the trend according to your charts. 6. When in doubt, get out, and don't get in when in doubt. 7. Trade only in active stocks. Keep out of slow, dead ones. 8. Equal distribution of risk. Trade-in 4 or 5 stocks, if possible. Avoid trying up all your capital in any one stock. 9. Never limit your orders or fix a buying or selling price. Trade at the market. 10. Don't close your trades without a good reason. Follow up with a stop-loss order to protect your profits...
