Surviving in US stocks longer matters more than being right about your guesses!

It’s not that complicated—just focus on three things: trend, position, and exit.
If the overall market is weak, lower your expectations even if individual stocks are strong.
Before earnings, don’t go heavy—don’t bet directionally.
Decide first how much you’re willing to lose, then think about how much you want to make.
If the price level breaks, exit—don’t get emotionally attached to your account.
With stocks that have poor liquidity, keep it to a minimum; it’s worse to be unable to sell than to be unable to buy.
The news itself doesn’t matter—the price reaction after the news does.
If your position is wrong, even a correct viewpoint can still lose money.
For every trade, review three points: your entry, your position, and your exit.
