Risk

If you are taking risk, you need to control it - risk as much as 10% per trade, but increase your chances of success by:
1. Buying options at or in the money, to give you staying power - and prevent yourself from getting stopped out.
Many traders lose, not because they were wrong in market direction - they just were stopped out by a volatile counter move - and options will give you staying power.
2. Many traders start trailing their stops to close, they then get stopped out ' but the trade runs on to make spectacular gains. Don't fall into this trap - keep your stop in its original position - until the move is well in profit, before moving it up.
You're looking to make money fast, and you're trading selectively - so have the guts to go for a trade when it looks good - and milk it for all it's worth.
