About Me
- Vagabond
- I am a stock trading enthusiast that aims to present a clear view of the stock market to the general public, based on strategies that I have developed over my trading career. There is no get rich quick scheme involved here, just some simple rules to follow.
Fundamental Rules of Trading
---GOLDEN RULE OF TRADING---
Follow the trend - Use 20 Day and 50 Day EMA as the trend indicator.
---GOLDEN RULE OF TRADING---
Sell into strength in downtrends, buy into weakness in uptrends.
Don't pay much attention to financial reports/news, other people, stock commentators, CNBC, Bloomberg, etc.
Rather buy in higher and be right than catch bottom (buy lower) and be wrong.
Cut the dogs loose, let the horses run.
Short as well as long the market. Only going long is like driving a car that can only move forward.
NEVER EVER take more than a 10% loss.
Don't make trading decisions intraday.
If you lose, you learn a lesson. If you get lucky, you learn to gamble.
The worst thing that can happen to a trader is to make money on a bad play.
It's better to miss a play than enter a bad one.
In an uptrend pay close attention to the 20 EMA, in downtrend mind the 50 EMA.
Don't day trade. The stress is not worth the money.
Trade alone if possible. The herd is almost always wrong.
