3. Psychology:
i. Remember that the price is not too high to buy or too low to sell.

iii. Do not predict what the market will do.
iv. It may take few trades (losses or small winners) to ride on the strong trend.
v. It is hard to re-enter but it takes a few trades to get a big winner or homerun.
vi. Stay relaxed. Place a trade and set a stop. If you get stopped out, who really cares? You are doing your job. You are actively protecting your capital.

In executing a trade, hope is a virus that can infect and destroy.

i. The initial start of a trend is choppy and subject to re-tracement. This will make some to believe the trend has reversed.
ii. The trend will get stronger make some to believe the price is either to higher to buy or too low to sell.
iii. As the crowd rush in to participate, the trend may just reverse or go side-way.
