Stock trading is EASY

You're the one who makes it difficult

You need a rule book to help you out

This is

"The 10 Trading Commandments"

- A THREAD -
Intro

Most people go into a trade without a set of rules

This leads to them buying blindfolded

Their rules will allow them to aim with pinpoint precision

That being said, lets get into The 10 Trading Commandments
1.

- Thou Shalt Not Trade Without A Stop Loss -

You wouldn't believe how many people trade without a stop loss

This is a form of protection!

Stop thinking about the potential upside

And start thinking about protecting your potential downside...
2.

- Thou Shalt Not Trade Against The Trend -

The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent

Let the trend be your friend rather than being it's enemy..
3.

- Thou Shalt Not Bag Hold -

There's a cost to holding a loser hoping you can sell for breakeven

A stock can take days/weeks/months/years to return to your entry price

Why not cut your loss early on?
4.

- Thou Shalt Leave Emotions Out Of A Trade -

Emotions don't help you in the market

They cause you to lose money

Be robotic in your trades
5.

- Thou Shalt Not Overtrade -

Know when to take your foot off of the gas pedal

Sometimes the best trade is no trade

Cash is a position
6.

- Thou Shalt Not Trade Headlines -

By the time a headline is released

You've probably missed the move up or down

Focus on trading a stock based off of it's chart

Not it's headlines..
7.

- Thou Shalt Protect Your Capital -

Your capital is your life blood

Without it you won't live to trade another day

Don't risk 25%+ of your account on every trade

Risk 1-2% at most..
8.

- Thou Shalt Not Gamble -

Stop holding through earnings unless you're up 20%+

A company could have it's best earnings ever

And still be down the next day

You don't know what is going to happen

Stop gambling
9.

- Thou Shalt Avoid Cheap Stocks -

If you liked it at $20

Then why wouldn't you buy more at $10?

Please don't buy cheap s*it..

Err stocks!
10.

- Thou Shalt Not Take Bigger Bets Than They Can Lose -

When you buy you need to appropriately buy

Don't buy more because your guru told you

A buy has to fit your trading style

Betting more than you can means you won't last long trading..
11. Bonus!

- Thou Shalt Join The Big Picture -

Over 100 subscribers are making anywhere from $50-1000/week

I chart over 2,000 stocks and give you the BEST ones
