8 Tried and True Commodity Stock Trading Application Rules That Will Explode Your
from: David JenynsSome commodity Stock Trading Application rules are made to be
broken, but when you`re trading, there are some rules are meant
to be followed. Here some of the Stock Trading Application rules
that I consider the most important principles of trading. I
suggest that you make a copy of them and place them in your
trading diary or tape them to your desk, so that you`ll always
remember to follow them.
Commodity Stock Trading Application No. 1 ~ Cut Your Losses
Never let your losses get out of hand. It is one of the most
important things that you can do to ensure you are successful.
Losses can devastate you emotionally and will diminish your
trading capital, violating your primary aim in trading - to
preserve your capital. If you could get successful traders to
credit their success to one thing, many would select this rule.
Commodity Stock Trading Application No. 2 ~ Let Your Profits Run
Hand in hand with the first rule is the second ~ let your
profits run. Your trading plan will probably produce profitable
trades less than half of the time. Therefore, you need to make
sure that when you do achieve a profit, you get the most out of
the move in the stock. Some up trends take time to develop; and
you must wait until you see the high in the stock achieved and
then the reverse in direction before you consider closing the
position. Until you see the reverse, you won`t know if the stock
is going to go any higher. Remember, your few profits must
outweigh many losses.
Commodity Stock Trading Application No. 3 ~ Follow the Trend
In trading, trends are the only friends you have. Always trade
with the trend! Never attempt to identify the bottom in the
stock or time your entry using that approach. If you do, you can
be run over as the stock continues on its way down. There is
often great force and momentum at work when a stock is trending
in either direction, particularly when the trend is down. Don`t
try to fight it. Why buy something that is heading in the wrong
direction on the hope that it will turn around and head back up
past your entry level?
Commodity Stock Trading Application No. 4 ~ Don`t Overtrade
Don`t trade for the sake of trading. Never force the action. If
you are not comfortable with any of your potential trades then
don`t open a position. It is a mature decision to do this when
conditions aren`t quite right, and you won`t be trading for the
wrong reasons.
Commodity Stock Trading Application No. 5 ~ Never Act on a Tip
Who hasn`t reacted to a tip they heard from somebody about a
stock that is apparently going to the moon and never coming
back? Never act on a tip; tips are rarely good. The worst part
of tips is that you will probably stick with the trade even when
the security starts to head against you. You will be more
inclined to break the commodity Stock Trading Application rules
and not cut your loss because of the 'reliable` information you
have heard about the stock`s future. Instead of trading on tips,
have confidence in your own plan.
Commodity Stock Trading Application No. 6 ~ Always Trade Liquid
Stocks
It is a horrible feeling of helplessness to be stuck with a
stock that you need to exit from because there aren`t enough
buyers in the market. Liquidity is the ability to trade in a
security without adversely affecting its market price. Always
demand liquidity in your securities before you consider trading
them, and you`ll never be stuck with a stock.
Commodity Stock Trading Application No. 7 ~ Keep Positions Small
When trading, you need to understand and manage risk to achieve
long term success. If you want to completely avoid risk, then
don`t commit any money to any financial market. If you are
prepared to take some risk, then managing and controlling that
risk will be crucial. One of the best ways to do this is to
ensure you have, and use, a good position sizing model. This
model will ensure that you don`t commit too much of your trading
capital to a single position, allowing you to spread your risk
across several positions.
Commodity Stock Trading Application No. 8 ~ Don`t Buy Something
Because it Looks Cheap
If a stock is cheap, there is probably a very good reason for
it. Only consider stocks that are trending up. There is no such
thing as a stock that might start to trend up any day. Even if a
stock looks cheap, who is to say that it will not get cheaper?
It may never increase in price again.
With these commodity Stock Trading Application rules, a solid
trading system, and good money management, you can become a
successful trader. Remember these commodity Stock Trading
Application rules and use them. Particularly when you don`t want
too.
