Trading psychology's main points:

• Trade with an UNDER CONTROL Plan: The plan must contain stop and limit levels for the trade, as your analysis should go completely around the expected downside as well as the expected upside.
• Test all of the facts carefully before you go for a trade. Don't let anyone’s fear or excitement cause you to enter or exit a position before the circumstances match YOUR guidelines.
• What goes down should come back up and what goes up must come down eventually. A good trader knows that there are times it's better to be in an all cash position and watch the market from the sidelines.
• Don't let temporary circumstances cause to deteriorate your convictions. You know that you should take steps to protect your profits when a trend is weakening, so does it. And vice versa.
• Don't fall in love (or hate) with your stocks. Take care at the technical aspects and do the right thing based upon your own system. The reason trading with a plan is the #1 tip is because most expressing analysis is done before the trade is executed.
• Remain emotionally away from the market and the excitement that its movement creates. Don't constantly check your share prices all day long (unless you're day trading).unless you are a day trader, Stay focus on the large trends.
• Unexpected things, both good and bad. Understand the events, and be prepared for them.
• Unless you're trading in short, only increase your position when prices go up. Usually, when a price starts to move it usually continues in that direction for a while.
