Ten Golden Trading Rules That Can Help New Traders:

A thread 🧵 👇
Never add too a losing trade. In adding to a losing trade you are already wrong but now become more wrong with a bigger trading size. Adding to losers makes you a counter trend trader that will eventually end badly when you find yourself on the wrong side of a strong trend.
Never lose more than 1% to 2% of your trading capital on any one trade. This means use position sizing aligned with stop loss placement so when you are wrong the loss is not big enough to damage you financially, mentally, or emotionally.
Never trade anything you do not understand 100%. Do not trade futures, forex, crypto, or options until you understand the risk and how they work.
Trade in the direction of the trend in your trading time frame. Choose the path of least resistance.
Only look for low risk/high reward trades or high probability setups , when you don’t have any signals, don’t trade.
Trade your plan, your system, your signals, the chart, and price action, not your own opinions, bias, or predictions.
You have to trade the right winning methodology that you are comfortable with that fits your own personality and belief system.
If you do not have a full trading plan with rules on entries, exits and risk management stop trading until you create one.
The size of your wins and losses ultimately determine your trading success regardless of your winning percentage. No system is profitable with huge losses.
Your risk management rules will ultimately determine the success of your technical trading system.

Here are 10 great technical trading rules that will help you build a systematic approach to trading: 👇

(A thread)
Start with the weekly price chart to establish the long term trend, and then work down through the daily and hourly charts to trade in the direction of that trend. The odds are better if you are trading in the direction of the charts trend.
In uptrends, the best strategy is to buy the dips. In downtrends, the best strategy is to sell short into each rally. Always go with the path of least resistance.

A good trade is taken with complete confidence, and follows your trading method. A bad trade is taken on an opinion.
A good trade is taken with a disciplined entry and position size. A bad trade is taken to win back losses the market owes you.
A good trade is taken when your entry parameters line up. A bad trade is taken out of fear of missing a move.
