My Golden Trading Rules






This is my strategy for success as a professional trader. As a professional there is nothing more important than acting like a professional. Here are my rules:











Rule:Pledge:
goal #1not to break trading plan under any circumstance. This is the golden rule of trading.
goal #2learn to deal with losses that happen do to the law of averages. In other-words you can't win every trade.
goal #3exercise extreme discipline.
goal #4exercise extreme patience.
goal #5participation! participate in the market either by real trading or demo. This yields experience.
goal #6lock in profit, repeat formula, increase trade size as account gets larger.
goal #7reward myself for doing my job


Under no circumstance should a trader break the trading plan. If you as a trader can't master the trading plan; the other rules become useless. If the trading plan doesn't work it means that the trading plan needs work and there's no reason to have any other rules. For that reason "trading plan" is goal number #1.

When goal 1 is achieved the other goals became easier.

There are going to be times when no matter what---losses will occur.

Goal 2 is a reflection of goal 1 - stick to your plan as long as it works on average but accept the losses when it doesn't. There's no trading plan that will work 100% of the time so those are the times to stick to the trading plan which includes stop losses and learn to deal with the law of averages or market randomness if you will. Sometimes it's just wise to stay out of the market which leads to another rule of patience.

Since there is no holly grail you have to accept losses! or even random gains but when they occur take the stop loss or the target point without question.

Also losses are like failures; Anyone who has ever tried to achieve something learns that failing is part of learning, as long as you learn from the failure and the failures are not too great. So learn to minimize a failure and learn why it did not work; essentially stop losses minimize failures.

Goal 3 is a reflection of 1 and 2. You must do what is required without question. If you write out a plan but don't stick to it, there's no point in having a plan. The main reason traders fail is because they don't have discipline required to look for good setups and get caught up in their emotions after placing bad trades.

Another way to put it is stick to your plan while being in control of your emotions at all times - that is discipline in trading. The law of averages might beat you here and there but if the plan is good enough it will equal out to profitability in the long run.

There are times when discipline is not enough so:
goal 4 is like goal 3 but you have to just wait it out sometimes. Discipline works when there are opportunities so a more refined quality is patience . In other-words wait until the opportunities are there such as when the indicators line up and avoid what I call "big emotion days" when there are major financial or political decisions being made that can cause major unpredictable volatility. With all that said don't confuse patience  with going to the beach and wasting time when you should be participating and keeping skills sharp. **Patience in trading is the discipline not to pull the trigger and wait for a better opportunity; you still watch the market and take notes.

Goal 5 Participate! The only way to gain experience is to participate. This does not mean to overtrade! Overtrading is avoided with patience but that doesn't mean to soak up rays on the beach when there's work to be done. A dull knife won't cut a path to success! While exercising patience  waiting for a trade - participate in sharpening up trading skills by reading, practicing in demo, ect..

Professional sports players spend most of their time practicing for competition. This shouldn't be an exception for any other profession that has a lot of competition. Trading is more competitive mentally than professional sports. Movie Quote "Nothing can prepare you for the unbridled carnage you are about to witness" Dan Aykroyd in Trading Places. That quote couldn't be more accurate. He goes on to say the Super Bowl and other sports finals are nothing in comparison. Everyday of trading is harder mentally than a Superbowl.

Goal 6 If the chips are falling into place and when all those things come together through exhaustive work and with proven success through repetition of the formula it is time to expand and increase the size of trades if there's leverage/capital to do so. **Don't increase lots if trading account is under-capitalized; this is surely a recipe for bankruptcy / blown account.

Goal 7 If you make it this far! Enjoy the profits! Take time off and enjoy relaxing vacations at the beach! Hey why have goals without rewards? I didn't say don't have fun - just don't do it when there's money to be made. Another golden rule is work before play.


Everyone thinks trading is easy - believe me if it were everyone would quit their job and become traders. When it comes to money people will lie, cheat, steal, and act poorly. Don't believe me - put $1000 bucks on the table with a group of people and ask them what they would do for it? On a second thought maybe don't - they might end up killing each other.

Trading requires one not to get emotional and follow mathematical rules without question. Even those don't always work but it's a learning process.

You may have even made money easy in the past but to hold on to a fortune requires that you follow rules if you are to trade with real money. For most of us, we have to follow many rules to work our way up into profitability.

Violating trading rules can lead to bad habits that could also lead to serious financial losses. In fact breaking rules of the trade is why many people don't succeed as traders. Personally, I've often looked back after a big loss to see I've broke a trading rule or a combination of them (eg violating trading plan, stop loss, patience, discipline).

Conversely, my profitable trades are usually when I followed the rules but there's always going to be losses do to the law of averages.

Rules must be followed to a T to take the emotion out of trading. It's the emotion that causes failure.

These rules sound easy on the surface but in live trading these rules are like life and death.

  25. Chaikin Money Flow

    Developed by Marc Chaikin, Chaikin Money Flow measures the amount of Money Flow Volume over a specific period. Money Flow Volume forms the basis for the Accumulation Distribution Line. Instead of a cumulative total of Money Flow Volume, Chaikin Money Flow simply sums Money Flow Volume for a specific look-back period, typically 20 or 21 days. The resulting indicator fluctuates above/below the zero line just like an oscillator. Chartists weigh the balance of buying or selling pressure with the absolute level of Chaikin Money Flow. Chartists can also look for crosses above or below the zero line to identify changes on money flow.
    Chaikin Money Flow Interpretation and forex signals
    Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is an oscillator that fluctuates between -1 and +1. Rarely, if ever, will the indicator reach these extremes. It would take 20 consecutive closes on the high (low) for 20-day Chaikin Money Flow to reach +1 (-1). Typically, this oscillator fluctuates between -0.50 and +0.50 with zero as the centerline.
    Chaikin Money Flow measures buying and selling pressure for a given period of time. A move into positive territory indicates buying pressure, while a move into negative territory indicates selling pressure. Chartists can use the absolute value of Chaikin Money Flow to confirm or question the price action of the underlying. Positive CMF would confirm an uptrend, but negative CMF would call into question the strength behind an uptrend. The reverse holds true for downtrends.

    Buying/Selling forex signals
    Chaikin Money Flow can be used to define a general buying or selling bias simply with positive or negative values. The indicator oscillates above/below the zero line. Generally, buying pressure is stronger when the indicator is positive and selling pressure is stronger when the indicator is negative.
    While this zero line cross seems simple enough, the reality is much choppier. Chaikin Money Flow sometimes only briefly crosses the zero line with a move that turns the indicator barely positive or negative. There is no follow through and this zero line cross ends up becoming a whipsaw (bad signal). Chartists can filter these signals with buffers by setting the bullish threshold a little above zero (+0.05) and the bearish threshold a little below zero (-0.05). These thresholds will not entirely eliminate bad signals, but can help reduce whipsaws and filter out forex signals .
