- Preparation

- Technical – Scan charts daily for opportunities.
- Physical – Do exercise to release tension in a positive way
- Execution
- Control risks – cut losers
- Follow the trading plan
- Hold winners
- Ask yourself the following questions:
- Has the market changed since I placed the trade?
- Is the original pattern still valid?
- Has anything occurred that causes the original position to be suspect?
- Has the initial price objective been reached?
- Can I afford to take the risk on this trade?
- If yes, stay in the trade.
