Overcoming Adverse Trading Habits

Here are the 10 most dangerous habits to have as a trader or investor. Do you rely on any of these habits?

1. Buying based on media tips or rumours - Australia's newspapers and newsletters have thousands of readers, so realistically the tips will not be very hot or unique and often rumours are false.
2. Buying on emotion. Gut instinct when it comes to shares is usually unreliable.
3. Getting advice from those who may not be qualified to give it.
4. Only knowing how to make money in rising markets. If property prices fall you can lose money but if share prices fall, traders can make money thanks to a technique called "short-selling".
5. Not using a stop loss to help you limit potential loss and reduce the risk of losing all your capital.
6. Not understanding position sizing and how to calculate exactly how much of each share, CFDs or other products to buy.
7. Not knowing when it is the right or wrong time to enter a share or CFD position - you need a strategy which precisely defines entry rules to determine when and why to buy a share.
8. Not knowing when it is the right or wrong time to exit a share or CFD position - as with entry you need a strategy which precisely defines exit rules to determine when and why to sell a share.
9. Buying a stock when it is trending down. Stocks are usually going down in price for a reason.
10. Buying low priced stocks. These stocks are usually cheap due to problems.
