this is how it will go


i found myself overtrading moust of the time, so i'm trying to limit my numbers of daily trades to no more than 5-6/day(hope i can shrink that to 3 or 4, but we'll see).
i'll be trading Gbp/Usd, Eur/Usd and my favourite Gbp/Jpy..

i've forgot where i found them but one should try to stick with them

#1 The Market pays you to be disciplined.

#8 You always want to be able to come back and play the next day.
#9 Earn the right to trade bigger.
#10 Get out of your losers.
#11 The first loss is the best loss.
#12 Don’t hope and pray.If you do, you will lose.
#13 Don’t worry about news.It’s history.
#14 Don’t speculate.If you do, you will lose.
#15 Love to lose money.
#16 If your trade is not going anywhere in a particular time
frame, it’s time to exit.
#17 Never take a big loss.Only a big loss can hurt you.
#18 Make a little bit everyday.Dig your ditches, don’t fill them in.
#19 Hit singles, not home runs.
#20 Consistency builds confidence and control.
#21 Learn to sweat out (scale out) your winners.
#22 Make the same type of trades over and over again.Be a bricklayer.
