Some Simple Rules
"In your actions, don't procrastinate. In your conversations, don't confuse. In your thoughts, don't wander. In your soul, don't be passive or aggressive. In your life, don't be all about business."
— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
I feel that it is always important to be able to follow "some simple rules" that make up a strategy.
How many times have you seen somebody explaining a strategy where x is covered by y, in case this happens and something else is covered by doing something else, in case that happens? You end up totally lost or confused and usually, so does the person trying to explain the strategy!
If you keep the rules/criteria for your strategies simple, it will be much easier to execute your trades correctly and to manage them to completion too of course!
You will also, with practice, become much more familiar and confident in using your strategies, which in turn will make you consistent when executing and managing your trades.
With patience, discipline and "some simple rules" to follow for your strategies, your trading journey will become much less complicated! It will most certainly pay dividends in the long run, if you keep it simple.
