Investing RulesOvertrading - your greatest enemy. W. D. Gann termed overtrading the 'greatest evil'. He felt it was the cause of more losses than anything else, and who are we to disagree with one of the masters? The average novice trader really doesn't have a clue as to how much money is needed to be successful, and he or she invariably buys (or shorts) more than prudence dictates. His analysis may be correct, but due to too big a position there is a forced liquidation when the margin clerk calls. How often does the money run out just at that critical time when it is ripest to enter? The overtrader is exhausted and misses the profit opportunity he had once seen clearly in those more optimistic days. When in doubt get out! If the market has not started to move in your favor within a reasonable amount of time, get out. Your judgment will deteriorate the longer you hang on to a losing position and at extremes you will do the wrong thing. One of the old timers once said something to the effect, 'I am prudent enough not to stand in the middle of the railroad tracks while I try to decide if the headlight I think I see is a freight train or an illusion.' Never average a loss! Averaging a loss may work four times out of five, but that fifth will wipe you out. It is a bad habit to get into. Look at it this way: if you make a trade, and it starts to go against you, then you're wrong (at least temporarily). Why buy or sell more to potentially compound the problem? Stop the loss early before it is eternally too large, and don't make it worse. Taken from The Global-Investor Book of Investing RulesContact details
