But in case market makes an unexpected move, you need to have some funding set aside in order to be able to keep your account afloat after possible losses.
5. Make informed decisions.
Informed decisions are the only kind that you are supposed to make in trading business. Never make decision and put trades on a whim and by guess – that is a straight road to losses. Instead do a quick research in the beginning of your trading sessions. That way you are going to minimize the risks.
6. Never trade without a stop loss.
Stop loss is going to ensure that you don’t lose too much and that you do not run out of money. Stop loss was invented for a reason. And you are going to be more successful if you use it.
7. Know your limits.
Trading limits are very important. You need you feel your head, so to say. You might want to trade a bit more, but you are too tired to do that? That is your limit. You need to set aside your device and be on your way to rest. You lost your daily limit? Do not try and win everything back. Just start everything with a clean head in the morning.
Trading in its essence laced with different rules and restrictions. And you do not need to follow all of them. But you need to know all of them to implement when needed.
