Creating a list of rules to follow is a great way to help insure your success and the much needed positive trading perspective. Put the rules on the wall next to your computer or the wall above the monitor to remind you were you on a daily basis. For those who have been in the market for years, the most used rules are over often looked because they are so well known. A list can even help the most experienced trader.

Another good idea is to keep a list of your day trade plans in your wallet so you can look them over. Keeping this list can help you avoid losses from acting impulsively by reading over before you take or place a trade.

You can really only blame yourself for trades good or bad. Taking this into account allows you to realize you are in total control on whether or not you make money in the market. This can keep you honest to your plans and not to trade impulsively.

Relating to the planning rule you need to keep records of all your trades. How else are you suppose to know if you strategy is working or not? By looking back you can see where you might have gone wrong and change it for the better.

When you are not trading do not think about trading but relax. When at home at a break from it, thinking about the market all the time will just stress you out. Trading should just be a way to make money not your life. Don't let it become your life!

Goals, always have them! After you meet your first goal in trading make you sure you have another one. This keeps you focused on the task at hand and not distracted by the market in general. This is something to keep in mind even if you might happen to be the world's most successful trader.
