Mistakes are a part of trading. Every trader makes them. But the most successful traders in the world—the ones who make huge profits every year—are the ones who make the least number of mistakes. The following is a list of ten common trading mistakes. Once you’ve learned to avoid these errors, you’ll expand your knowledge of the futures and options markets and increase your chances of making more winning trades.
#1. FOLLOWING THE CROWD
Although it’s been said there’s safety in numbers that statement almost never applies to trading. Successful traders know that it’s better to “lead the pack” than it is to blindly “follow the herd.” Because the biggest profits are made by catching moves before the crowd has a chance to react, it’s important that you form your own opinions and then act on them with total confidence.
#2. REVERSING YOUR POSITION
If your position is wrong, avoid the temptation of making a 180-degree turn. Instead, get out and give your trading a rest before taking another position. Ignore this advice, and you run the risk of being whipsawed—losing as the market moves against you, then losing more when the market turns and goes against you again.
#3. TRYING TO PICK TOPS AND BOTTOMS
The smartest traders always let the market price action prove a top or bottom has been formed before taking an active position. Trying to pinpoint tops and bottoms is a risky business where the possibility of taking a loss far outweighs the potential gain. By exercising patience and waiting for a definite high or low to appear, you’ll increase your odds for making a profit while reducing your risk and stress.

On Risk
Worry is not a sickness but a sign of health if you are not worried, you are not risking enough.
Always play for meaningful stakes if an amount is so small that its loss won’t make any significant difference, then it isn’t likely to bring any significant gains either.
Resist the allure of diversification.
On Greed
Always take your profit too soon.
Decide in advance what gain you want from a venture, and when you get it, get out.
On Hope
When the ship starts sinking, don’t pray. Jump.
Accept small losses cheerfully as a fact of life. Expect to experience several while awaiting a large gain. Continue reading “12 rules that can save you further losses” »

A husband wakes up at home with a huge hangover. He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table. He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotless, clean. So is the rest of the house.
He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table. “Honey, breakfast is on the table, I left early to go grocery shopping. Love You!”
Totally shocked with the note, he goes to the kitchen and sure enough there is a hot breakfast and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. He asks, “Son, what happened last night?” His son says, “Well, you came home around 3 AM, drunk and delirious. Broke some crockery, puked in the hall, and gave yourself a black eye when you stumbled into the door”. Continue reading “Priceless Words” »
Opto Circuits India

Key points
# Opto Circuits India’s (Opto) non-invasive business is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 39.5% over FY2007-10E to Rs550.7 crore on the back of rising demand for its sensors and patient monitoring systems, coupled with an increasing market penetration and innovative new launches.
# The invasive business would be driven by the increasing acceptance of the company’s stents due to superior technology and better pricing. Further, the growing revenues from DIOR in Europe and the semi-regulated markets due to limited competition would also fuel the growth of the invasive segment. We expect the invasive segment (EuroCor) to contribute ~43% to the company’s total revenues by 2010. Continue reading “BUY: Opto Circuits India” »
