Rule #7: TAKE PROFITS WHEN YOU HAVE THEM!

You will never go broke taking profits. I am generally a "nervous" trader which gives me the fast sell trait. Sometimes, more profits can be made if you ride out the selling on a stock that is going UP. But the stocks that reverse and continue down, do so at such a rapid pace that the losses can be excessive.

One of the biggest faults traders continually have is the SECOND GUESS. They continually second guess their trades by allowing 20/20 hindsight to dictate their trading. Daytraders live in the moment. I take my small profits and wave good bye no mater what the next direction is. I have never been sorry.
