  Education
#  #  #  #  #  #

Trading rule No 1. Never chase. Forget about the  Rupee loss for a moment as the real damage comes from the distraction it creates.

Trading rule No 2. Wait for the break. Most traders buy inside the range, get impatient and as a result they sell on first sign of strength which ends up being the breakout.

Trading rule No 3. Don’t ride the ticks and Dollar profits. It creates emotional turmoil and is draining. Prevention is best cure. Takes the fun out of the game.

Trading rule No 4. Price action trumps everything. Management lie or mislead but price action (money flow) never lies.

Trading rule No 5. Sell the news or a least sell partials. Markets discount everything and over the long run you will be better off.

Trading rule No 6. Always stay in control. Do NOT put yourself in news related coin toss trades, where the risk cannot be managed.

Trading rule No 7. Mind your own business, avoid conflict. If you take offence because someone has disagreed with your trade, then you are such a precious little petal.

Trading rule No 8. Do NOT set targets as all this creates is a premature EXIT. Run a trailer and let that take you out. (more…)

I’m sure most everybody knows these truisms in their hearts, but this list is nicely edited and makes a good read.

  1. Plan your trades. Trade your plan.
  2. Keep records of your trading results.
  3. Keep a positive attitude, no matter how much you lose.
  4. Don’t take the market home.
  5. Continually set higher trading goals.
  6. Successful traders buy into bad news and sell into good news.
  7. Successful traders are not afraid to buy high and sell low.
  8. Successful traders have a well-scheduled planned time for studying the markets.
  9. Successful traders isolate themselves from the opinions of others.
  10. Continually strive for patience, perseverance, determination, and rational action.
  11. Limit your losses – use stops!
  12. Never cancel a stop loss order after you have placed it!
  13. Place the stop at the time you make your trade.
  14. Never get into the market because you are anxious because of waiting.
  15. Avoid getting in or out of the market too often.
  16. Losses make the trader studious – not profits. Take advantage of every loss to improve your knowledge of market action.
  17. The most difficult task in speculation is not prediction but self-control. Successful trading is difficult and frustrating. You are the most important element in the equation for success.
  18. Always discipline yourself by following a pre-determined set of rules.
  19. Remember that a bear market will give back in one month what a bull market has taken three months to build.
  20. Don’t ever allow a big winning trade to turn into a loser. Stop yourself out if the market moves against you 20% from your peak profit point.
  21. You must have a program, you must know your program, and you must follow your program.
  22. Expect and accept losses gracefully. Those who brood over losses always miss the next opportunity, which more than likely will be profitable.
  23. Split your profits right down the middle and never risk more than 50% of them again in the market.
  24. The key to successful trading is knowing yourself and your stress point.
  25. The difference between winners and losers isn’t so much native ability as it is discipline exercised in avoiding mistakes.
  26. In trading as in fencing there are the quick and the dead.
  27. Speech may be silver but silence is golden. Traders with the golden touch do not talk about their success.
  28. Dream big dreams and think tall. Very few people set goals too high. A man becomes what he thinks about all day long.
  29. Accept failure as a step towards victory. (more…)

Mohnish Pabrai’s long-only equity fund has returned a cumulative 517% net to investors vs. 43% for the S&P 500 Index since inception in 2000.  That’s outperformance of 474 percentage points or 1103 percent. [Disclosure: I and/or some of my clients are long Pabrai’s fund or specific holdings within his fund.]

To anticipate your next question: Yes, his fund is closed to new investors.  But there is still hope.  Read on — sadist that I am, I put the answer at the end

Pabrai is a classic value investor in the tradition of Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, Seth Klarman and Joel Greenblat. I recently had an opportunity to hear him talk and thought I’d pass along some of my bright yellow highlighting.

In the trading world, you will either make money or lose money on any given trade. All that matters in the end is making more money when you’re right than you lose when you’re wrong.  Knowing this, traders have learned to accept failure as part of the game, but they also use the information they acquire from their mistakes as a learning tool.  Frequently, what they learn from losing money is more valuable than what they learn when they make money”
