Investing RulesIf you want to keep getting what you're getting, keep doing what you are doing! One of the reasons you buy a trading system or a set of trading systems is to replace and/or supplement your current methodology. Why not get what you paid for? Many would-be systematic traders follow a system until they have three losers in a row, and then put it on the shelf. Almost every strategy will experience 3 losing trades in a row, so those traders are destined to fail! Give your new approach a chance to work. This is the most important rule I know! While becoming expert, rent expertise. The best way to have expertise is to become an expert. Until you are expert, the second best way is to rent an expert. Going to seminars, buying software and trading systems can allow you to 'ramp up' faster. We don't all tune our own automobiles, or fix our own teeth; why should we feel we must write our own trading systems? Once you have a system that is comfortable and profitable to you, you can 'edit' it and add your own twists. Ask yourself this - is it easier to write a book from scratch, or edit a manuscript? If you can't run with the BIG DOGS, stay on the porch. Trading isn't for everyone! I design racing cars, (trading systems); I don't race them! (manage money). I know my limitations. Do you know yours? Is the thrill of victory worth the possible agony of defeat? Are you trading small while learning, or do you trade to 'beat the bank!' Do you trust yourself, or do you need validation by the 'talking heads' on cable TV? Do you have the time for day trading (5-10 hours per day with a system), or the discipline for daily trading? (5-10 minutes per day with a system)? When you learned your business, did you learn everything at once, or did you learn one or two things thoroughly, and go from there? There is no shame on the porch. The Big Dogs can be and will be rough! Taken from The Global-Investor Book of Investing Rules |
