1. Don't fight with scammers. Rather think before!
2. Use intuition, listen feelings, "what's right", "what's for me", "stay away" warnings. Don't mess with jobs you don't like or you don't feel comfortable with.
3. Stick with your profession. Be open to all ways how to share your skills and services.
4. Trust to all people you have good feeling about them, even if they don't look to deserve it.

1. Hold to your stops.
2. Set a loss limit on the day. Mine is to stop trading after losing $200 for the day.
3. Don't try to "make as much as you can". Unless you have a well proven trade plan. More often than not you'll end up giving it back at the end of the day.
4. Set a profit target on the day. Start with $100 and slowly increase from there as you get better with your trade plan.
5. Protect Profits! As you become profitable as the day goes. Try trading less size, which in turn will give less chance of giving back all or most of your profits by the end of the day.

1. be aware of my thoughts and emotions.
2. trade the facts, price and volume.
3. call it a day after two losers in a row.
4. reduce size after a series of winning trades.
5. keep the ego in check when I think I know more than I really do, just stop trading.
6. TAKE PROFITS when they are presented to me.
7. Always trade with a physical stop order in place, bracket the market.
8. Enjoy the weekend and not look at charts until Sunday night.

Here's one I subconsciously do, after a winning trade, I just take a break, go surf the net, do something else rather than bask in my glory or continue staring at the charts. Same thing when it is a losing trade.
