2 The Golden Rules of Trading
The ensuing sections outline a set of rules that can significantly ameliorate your chances of success if they're understood, rehearsed, and enforced constantly in your trading.
These rules
have been learned the hard way, by study, exploration, trial- and- error, and
the ineluctable miscalculations that everyone makes when they start a trading
business.
We hope that you can learn from the work we've
done, and benefit from our experience. The rules will now be bandied.
Have specific pretensions and objects
Many effects are more important to your trading success than having set( i.e. written) pretensions and ideals for what you're aiming to achieve.
It's amazing to me how frequently we hit our
targets, meet our objectives, and
reach our pretensions only when we articulate them and write them down.
For any business to be successful it must have measurable objects that are attainable. In trading( obviously) the primary ideal is to make plutocrats, but it's important to have other objects that aren't purely cash-related.
We
must always flashback that
price and threat go hand-in-hand in
trading and that we can not anticipate achieving high returns without planning for high
threat( i.e. draw- campo).
Your objects and pretensions will be veritably
specific to you, but they must have the following characteristics to be useful
o Be measurable( in completion and timeframe)
o Be attainable
o Be worthwhile
o Be positive
As an illustration, then are some of our
current objects( this is only a partial list)
o Develop 2 new positive-expectation trading systems each time
o Make smaller crimes by enforcing our trading systems each time
o Achieve a return to maximum draw-down rate
of1.51
o Take 2 weeks' holiday
each time
Note that only one of them is about making a plutocrat, and that has a measurable ideal that's relative to draw-down, not absolute( i.e. make 100 per time).
still, and when you're trying to achieve it, the whole business will be
concentrated on meeting
If you know what you're trying to achieve. your objects and help guide you to only pay attention to the effects you want to achieve with your limited time and coffers.
This will also give you
a way to measure the success and progress of your trading. Generally, dealers with well-defined objects will be much more successful than
those that don't have-defined
pretensions.
Be harmonious and disciplined
To realize the full eventuality of your trading systems, it's critical that you take every trading entry, acclimate every stop, and close out every trade as and when your system says you should do.
This takes extreme confidence in your trading systems, good
robust dependable technology, and the internal discipline to stick to your
trading plan whatever happens( assuming it's complete).
An underpinning supposition about being
harmonious and disciplined is that you have a pre-defined plan for every situation you may
face in your trading so that you know how you're defining what being harmonious
is. Your plan needs to include at least the following particulars
o All your trading rules for entering, adding
to, and exiting positions
o What you'll do if your trading computer,
internet connection, broker, power, telephone
etc. fails
o What you'll do if you're unfit to trade
o What you'll do if you lose X of your account
o What you'll do if all the requests are
closed and you can not exit your positions
Unless you write the answers down to all these issues, you can not be harmonious and chastened in your approach to trading and if you lose a plutocrat you won't know whether it's because you did not follow your plan. After all,
your
plan is deficient, because your systems don't work, or simply because you're
going through a losing period.
Let gains run
This simple rule is the key to being a successful dealer. It's three simple words that are veritably hard to apply.
When we get a profitable trade our natural fear of losing the unrealized cash kicks in and we truly want to close it out now and take the plutocrat.
utmost
trading consists of long ages of small winners and disasters followed by many
huge winners that make the difference between overall profitability and simply
breaking indeed or losing due to trading costs( commissions, spread, and
slippage).
We can let the huge winners come just that- huge- that determines how we will perform overall during the time.
The key to letting winners run is to have running stops that are outside the diurnal noise of the request so that they aren't tight enough to get stopped out during' normal' trading.
This means being prepared to give up a significant portion of a winning trade's open profit and this is the thing that makes this so hard to apply. We
should be adding to a winner and widening stops rather than working out how tight our stops can be to capture maximum profit.
The trade has formerly shown
you that it intends to be a winner, and the chances are it's a low-threat idea
to add to the position now rather than strangle it with stops that are too tight.
