Be patient. Wait for good entries. Let your trades play out
Take profits. This is a game of compounding. You don’t need to go for the home run every time
Use stop losses. Manage your downside, or the market will manage it for you
Preserve capital. As long as you're still playing, you're still able to catch the next big play. But that can't happen if you're liquidated and forced to watch from the sidelines
Do these and you're already halfway to being a profitable trader
