FROM AN EXPERIENCE
50 Trading Rules
1.
Plan your trades. Trade your plan.
2.
Keep records of your trading results.
3.
Keep a positive attitude, no matter how much you lose.
4.
Don’t take the market home.
5.
Continually set higher trading goals.
6.
Successful traders buy into bad news and sell into good news.
7.
Successful traders are not afraid to buy high and sell low.
8.
Successful traders have a well-scheduled planned time for studying the markets.
9.
Successful traders isolate themselves from the opinions of others.
10.
Continually strive for patience, perseverance, determination, and rational
action.
11.
Limit your losses – use stops!
12.
Never cancel a stop loss order after you have placed it!
13.
Place the stop at the time you make your trade.
14.
Never get into the market because you are anxious because of waiting.
15.
Avoid getting in or out of the market too often.
16.
Losses make the trader studious – not profits. Take advantage of every loss to
improve your knowledge of market action.
17.
The most difficult task in speculation is not prediction but self-control.
Successful trading is difficult and frustrating. You are the most important
element in the equation for success.
18.
Always discipline yourself by following a pre-determined set of rules.
19.
Remember that a bear market will give back in one month what a bull market has
taken three months to build.
20.
Don’t ever allow a big winning trade to turn into a loser. Stop yourself out if
the market moves against you 20% from your peak profit point.
21.
You must have a program, you must know your program, and you must follow your
program.
22.
Expect and accept losses gracefully. Those who brood over losses always miss
the next opportunity, which more than likely will be profitable.
23.
Split your profits right down the middle and never risk more than 50% of them
again in the market.
24.
The key to successful trading is knowing yourself and your stress point.
25.
The difference between winners and losers isn’t so much native ability as it is
discipline exercised in avoiding mistakes.
26.
In trading as in fencing there are the quick and the dead.
27.
Speech may be silver but silence is golden. Traders with the golden touch do
not talk about their success.
28.
Dream big dreams and think tall. Very few people set goals too high. A man
becomes what he thinks about all day long.
29.
Accept failure as a step towards victory.
30.
Have you taken a loss? Forget it quickly. Have you taken a profit? Forget it
even quicker! Don’t let ego and greed inhibit clear thinking and hard work.
31.
One cannot do anything about yesterday. When one door closes, another door
opens. The greater opportunity always lies through the open door.
32.
The deepest secret for the trader is to subordinate his will to the will of the
market. The market is truth as it reflects all forces that bear upon it. As
long as he recognizes this he is safe. When he ignores this, he is lost and
doomed.
33.
It’s much easier to put on a trade than to take it off.
34.
If a market doesn’t do what you think it should do, get out.
35.
Beware of large positions that can control your emotions. Don’t be overly
aggressive with the market. Treat it gently by allowing your equity to grow
steadily rather than in bursts.
36.
Never add to a losing position.
37.
Beware of trying to pick tops or bottoms.
38.
You must believe in yourself and your judgement if you expect to make a living
at this game.
39.
In a narrow market there is no sense in trying to anticipate what the next big
movement is going to be – up or down.
40.
A loss never bothers me after I take it. I forget it overnight. But being wrong
and not taking the loss – that is what does the damage to the pocket book and
to the soul.
41.
Never volunteer advice and never brag of your winnings.
42.
Of all speculative blunders, there are few greater than selling what shows a
profit and keeping what shows a loss.
43.
Standing aside is a position.
44.
It is better to be more interested in the market’s reaction to new information
than in the piece of news itself.
45.
If you don’t know who you are, the markets are an expensive place to find out.
46.
In the world of money, which is a world shaped by human behavior, nobody has
the foggiest notion of what will happen in the future. Mark that word – Nobody!
Thus the successful trader does not base moves on what supposedly will happen
but reacts instead to what does happen.
47.
Except in unusual circumstances, get in the habit of taking your profit too
soon. Don’t torment yourself if a trade continues winning without you. Chances are
it won’t continue long. If it does, console yourself by thinking of all the
times when liquidating early reserved gains that you would have otherwise lost.
48.
When the ship starts to sink, don’t pray – jump!
49.
Lose your opinion – not your money.
50.
Assimilate into your very bones a set of trading rules that works for you.

8 TRADING REGULATIONS
1.
Never outshine the master. (You can trade better than your mentor, just don’t
expect him to like it. You’ll also learn more from people who you help, than
from those who you work against.)
2.
Never put too much trust in friends. Learn how to use enemies. (The only one
you can trust as a trader is yourself and your own decisions. When the herd is
against your positions, find something that is misunderstood, overlooked, or
not fully recognized in the current stock price.)
3.
Conceal your intentions. (Limit orders are good for the novice and
undisciplined, but the market makers will never let you pick off the bottoms
and tops using these.)
4.
Always say less than necessary. (Talk is cheap and being concise is a good
thing. It’s ok to keep some things you learn and strategies you create all to
yourself.)
5.
So much depends on reputation – guard it with your life. (Wall Street watches
where the smart money is going at all times and herd-like patterns typically
follow. Find those with the best reputation and figure out what they’re doing
now. It will help unlock some secrets to their success.)
6.
Court attention at all cost. (The key is to be ahead of the tape before Wall
Street takes notice. Find stocks that few are looking at which offer tremendous
growth prospects. They’ll be tomorrow’s winners, not the stocks you hear so
much about right now.)
7.
Get others to do the work for you, but always take the credit.(It’s ok to use
others’ research and opinions, but realize that none of these can serve as a
substitution for common sense and developing your own edge in the market. What is
already known and published by others has already been acted upon no matter
what you may think or have been told. Assume you’re always the last to know.)
8.
Make other people come to you – use bait if necessary.(Success breeds
popularity. If others think that they can learn or profit from you, you’ll
never be lonely. However, with respect also comes responsibility to act in the
best interests of others, many times before your own.)
RBI CHIEF CALLS ECONOMIC VIEW 'DISTURBING'
Dependent
on imported oil which it then subsidises, India is exposed to external shocks
such as high crude prices and has seen its fiscal and current deficits blow out
in recent months, triggering some economists to warn of a looming crisis.
In 1991,
India
came close to defaulting on foreign debt payments when the first Gulf War drove
oil prices up, leading to a depletion of foreign reserves and a currency crash.
Subbarao
said the economy was far more resilient now and that the probability of an
“implosion” was low.
“That
is quite a disturbing picture,” he said. “Nevertheless, I would still argue that
in 1991 an implosion was imminent, in 2012, an implosion in not imminent.”
“There
are serious concerns about the macroeconomy, about our policy environment, and
about our governance,” Subbarao said at a panel discussion attended by Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh.
“We
should prove to the world that the current downturn is just a short-term
phenomenon and that the long-term growth drivers will come back into play,”
Subbarao said.
Singh
remained mostly quiet during the discussion, in which influential economist
Raghuram G Rajan called on the government to quickly reduce subsidies on
domestic fuel to restore confidence in the economy.
Singh’s
weak coalition government has vowed to cut the subsidy bill to bring the fiscal
deficit down from 5.9 percent last year, but needs to win support from populist
allies and opposition parties already fuming at high inflation.
The
prime minister accepted there were economic difficulties, but said they could
be resolved with determination.
THREE BIASES THAT AFFECT YOUR TRADING
Van
K. Tharp mentioned there are 3 biases that will affect one’s trading:
1) Gambler’s
fallacy bias
People
tend to believe that after a string of losses, a win is going to come next. Take
for example that you are playing a game of coin tossing with a capital of $1000.
You lost 3 bets in a row on heads and cost you $100 each bet. What will you bet
next and how much would you stake?
It
is likely you will continue to bet on heads and with a higher stake, say $300. You
do not ‘believe’ that it can be tails consistently. People fail to realize coin
tossing is random and past results do not affect future outcomes.
Traders
must treat each trade independently and not be affected by past results. It is
important that your trading system tells you how much to stake your capital
which is also known as position sizing, so that the risk-reward ratio will be
optimal.
2) Limit
profits and enlarge losses bias
People
tend to limit their profits and give more room to losses. Nobody likes the
feeling of losing. Most investors tend to hold on to losses and hope their
investments will turn around soon, and they will be happy if their holdings
break even. However, chances are that they will amount to greater losses. On
the other hand, if they are winning, most investors tend to take profits early
as they fear their profits will be wiped out soon. Thereafter, they regretted
that they didn’t hold a little longer (sounds familiar?).
One
of the most important principle in trading is contrary to what most investors
do – Traders have to LIMIT LOSSES and let PROFITS RUN. Losses are part and
parcel of trading and hence, it is crucial to protect the capital from
depleting too much – live to fight another day is the mantra for all traders. Large
profits are thus required to cover the small losses – so do not limit profit
runs.
3) I
am right bias
Humans
are egoistic in nature and we want to prove that we are right. High accuracy is
not important in trading but making more money when you are right is. Remember
what George Soros said, “It’s not whether you’re right or wrong that’s
important, but how much money you make when you’re right and how much you lose
when you’re wrong.”
