Before the execution, there is the inquiry. Professionalism in trading is not
found in the strategy, but in the discipline of the self.
“Read them slowly. Answer them honestly. Every single time.”
Before you enter any trade, you should be able to explain why you’re entering it. Not a feeling. Not a guess. A clear reason. If you can’t explain it simply you don’t understand it well enough to trade it. Wait.
Every trade can go wrong even the best ones. Before you enter, decide the maximum amount you’re comfortable losing. If that number makes your stomach drop you’re risking too much. Start smaller. Protect what you have.
For every trade you take, the potential profit should be bigger than the potential loss. A simple rule most experienced traders follow; for every $1 you risk, aim to make at least $2. If the numbers don’t add up, the trade is not worth it.
This is the most important question on this list. Are you trading because the market is showing you a real opportunity or because you’re bored, excited, frustrated or trying to recover money you already lost?
If your emotions are running high right now, close your laptop and step away. The market will still be there tomorrow.
Hope is not a plan. Before you enter, decide exactly at what point you will exit if the trade moves against you. Set that exit point before you enter and stick to it no matter what happens. This one habit alone will protect you more than any strategy.
