Whenever you tell anyone you trade penny stocks, if they’ve dabbled in the market, the first question without fail is always “what are the best penny stocks to buy?”

Quite often they follow this with those familiar ‘war stories’; “I could have made a killing if I bought this at 0.05.” Or, “man I knew I should have bought/sold!” But you know it’s never their fault they aren’t making money, it’s the analysts fault because his pick was wrong, or the system they were following doesn’t work anymore.

Balderdash!

You need to know when to get in, when to get out, and how much you’re willing to risk. Imagine an NFL team going into a game without a game plan…yeah, not pretty.

Protect Your Capital

As a trader it’s nice to make profits, but preserving capital will allow you to survive to trade for another day. Risking about 5% on each trade is a sensible idea. If you’re finding your stress levels are increasing and you’re having difficulty sleeping because you’re worried about your trade, then you’re risking more than you’re comfortable with.

Meet Your Friend, The Trend

Trading can be quite simple actually; when the market is bullish, you buy, when the market is bearish, you well. It is a lot easier, not to mention much more profitable, to follow the market trend. Don’t go against your friend, that’s just rude.

Check Your Emotions At The Door

In every trade the emotions of greed and fear are having a good old tussle inside you. Kick them both out, because they will both make you broke. You need to be rational and follow your rules if you are to make consistent profits.
