Lose less than you profit
Don't go looking for the Big Win; it will most likely result in a big loss. Successful trading means consistent trading, where small wins amount to large long term profits. Never assume that all your trades will be profitable, and plan on losses.
Size of trades
You should only risk a small percentage of your total account balance on each trade. This simply minimizes your risk, so that even if you end up losing your entire investment on a trade, it doesn't have a critical effect on your account balance. The recommended amount is 25% of your account balance per trade. More aggressive traders go as high as %50, but never higher than that. It is a very important rule to keep, since the lower your account balance drops, the harder it is to rebuild it.
