Become a Better Trader
Join Prof. Quint Tatro as he explains his personal rules for trading and how they can help you become a better trader:

Developing Your Personal Rules

Most people could improve their results dramatically simply adopting and adhering to a simple set of rules.

Position Sizing

No single position should occupy more than 5% of your total capital.

Let the Chart Be Your Guide

Learning to stick with the chart and the chart only will do wonders not only for your performance but your emotional capital as well.

Legging In

The next time you desire to buy a stock, consider watching it for a while to get a better feel for its movements.

Stops

By watching your underlying positions and adhering to a strict stop loss discipline, you will immediately be selling stock and raising cash when your individual stocks start to break down.

Don't Fight the Tape

A game plan or thesis can never trump the action in the tape.
 
Personal Finance
Regardless of an individual's  age, income, or status in life, managing one's own personal finances can result in saving and making a lot of cash. Let Scott Reeves and Minyanville get you started:
