Scale-in, scale out or all-in, all-out

15 In the wise leader's plans, considerations of advantage and of disadvantage will be blended together.
#RiskToReward

16 Don't short a market which doesn't fall on negative news and conversely don't go long in a market which doesn't rise on positive news.

17 Be very selective in your Trading
Enter setups that you trade the best and where there is asymmetric reward to risk.

18 Take #trading as a business very seriously. Those who take it as a hobby & hope to succeed in long term, are just wasting time and money.

19 Without subtle ingenuity of mind, one cannot make certain of the truth of spy's reports.

20 There's no martyrdom in #trading
When wrong accept small losses
& run away to return to trade next day
don't lose all by averaging losses
