Chris,

1) Control greed.

2) If its too good to be true, it is too good to be true.

Think like a contrarian.

Read the boards. Go the other way.

Find the good analysts and listen to them. That's hard hard work.

Be flexible enough to change your mind if what you see in front of you justifies it.

Fade opening gaps up and down.

know which analysts have credibility and heed their calls

always look for catalysts for a move

know when to be contrarian (at the late stage of a trend) when not to be contrarian (at the early stage of a trend)

control your greed, confront your fear

cut your losses early, dont pray on a position

My trader's trilogy:

1. No one ever went broke taking a profit.
2. The market is never wrong.
3. The longer a trend has been in place, the more likely it is to reverse.

I'd like to also cast hearty votes for - "The trend is your friend," and "Use stop losses".

Regards,
TW
