Learn from your mistakes

“The single most important advice I can give anybody is: Learn from your mistakes. That is the only way to become a successful trader.”

David Ryan

Make it a habit to review all your trades once a month. Notice where you entered and ask yourself why did you initiated such a position. What was the underlying reason behind your move. Was it pure emotional reaction or strictly following a plan. What were your exit rules and how well did they help you to preserve capital and maximize profits. No other exersize will teach you more about your weaknesses and strengths.

TIMING ENTRIES AND EXITS

1. Forget the news, remember the chart. No one is smart enough to know how news will affect price in every case.  The chart already knows the news is coming.

2. Execute positions based on numbers, time, and volume, not emotions.  This discipline forces the trader to distance himself from reckless gambling behavior. 

3. Remember that participants in the markets echo similar patterns over and over again based on the infallible rules of human behavior allowing the trader to take advantage of potentially profitable trades while minimizing losses
