Trading the professional way
Trading the professional way really involves common sense. We should buy stock on sale and sell it when it becomes expensive, not the other way around
When you trade you must fire on all cylinders; you must access and activate your resources, strengths and mental weapons in the psychological warfare which is trading. The trading trenches are not a place to vacillate and equivocate; you must be willing to demonstrate your ability to focus on what matters most in the trade. You must be willing to plan your trade and trade your plan with complete follow-through of all of your rules.
