Perhaps my number one rule is: Don't try to make a profit on a bad trade, just try to find the best place to get out.

I try to wait until things set up just right before I take a trade. Then, when I'm ready to take the trade, I slowly count to ten before I pick up the phone. It's better to have the wrong idea and good timing than the right idea and bad timing.

If you ever have to ask someone else's opinion on a trade, you shouldn't be in it.

Speech may be silver but silence is golden. Traders with the golden touch do not talk about their success.

The good traders are the ones who can hold their ground the majority of the month and participate in that small handful of trades that are windfalls. The real skill is in not LOSING money!

There are too many unpredictable things that can happen within two months. To me, the ideal trade lasts ten days, but I approach every trade as if I'm only going to hold it two or three days.

If you ever find yourself tempted to seek out someone else's opinion on a trade, that's usually a sure sign that you should get out of your position.
