Successful traders do several things that amateurs often forget. They plan a trading strategy, they follow the markets, and they track, and analyze each of their trades. The first step is building a strategic trading plan. This is often overlooked by novice traders. A trading plan does not only incorporate your strategies and how you will decide to make a trade, it will incorporate risk management as well as defined entry and exit plans.
You may have heard the adage, "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail." This is particularly true in online trading as well as investing. Successful traders start with a sound plan and they stick to it at all times. This will help take the emotion out of your trading.
