* Accept small losses as part of the game if you want to win.
* Trade markets from the short side.

* Develop a business plan. Speculation is a business.

your losses.

success of a position.

discipline.

* Don't be overly curious about the rationale behind a move. The
key to wealth in trading is simplicity.
