1. Enter strong stocks when stochastics are oversold.

4. Keep a daily list of stock breakouts and breakdowns.

5. Do not let your watchlist get too big.

6. Weed out your watchlist on a weekly or monthly basis.

19. Create a “daily prep report” for each trading day.

20. Become a slave to price, volume and support and resistance levels.

21. Unless you daytrade, do not watch every tick.

22. Let your stops and targets work for you.

23. Do not “micro-manage” trades.

24. Understand your own trading psychology.

25. It gets a bad rap, but I believe in “paper trading” as a learning tool.

26. Read everything, but accept nothing.

27. Do not get discouraged by a few bad trades.

28. Manage risk by position sizing.

29. Only take your best trades

30. Learn when not to trade.

31. Never allow fear or greed to consume your trading.

32. Trust your setup.

33. One last time: PRICE, VOLUME, SUPPORT and RESISTANCE

34. Stocks do not go up or down in a straight line.
