1. Prefer planned limit entries rather than chasing price. 2. Never increase position size because I am confident about a trade. 3. Define the maximum acceptable loss before entering. 4. Use a stop-loss when appropriate. 5. Do not force a trade if my entry price is not reached. 6. Review every trade and identify whether I followed my rules. 7. Protect capital first; profits come second. My goal is not to win every trade. My goal is to make sure that one bad trade never damages my ability to continue trading.
