If someone urges you to trade or if you get an urge to trade each and every bounce/movement in the stock, learn to control such urges.
Have you observed how a lion hunts its prey? You must have seen it on TV.
Does the lion chase each and every animal in its sight? Does it try to hunt each and every animal that it can see? It does not. It runs after only those animals, which it feels that it can hunt and which it can overpower and which is within its reach.
Similarly, you need to take only those trades where the ratio between the commensurate profit and the attendant risk is skewed largely in favour of profit. You need to take only those trades where you are absolutely sure of future movement and its direction. Preservation of capital is first priority. If you are doubtful of the outcome of the trade, stay away from it. If you miss one trade, the market will not come to an end. But if you do not have any capital to trade, surely your trading carrier is going to end. Remember that and always
