you will need a good method before get everything start and at the same time you need to build up a strong discipline and psychology to face the upcoming challenge.There is a method to help everyone to kick start everything and this method call 3M.

 

3M stands for mind, method and money management..

 

first is mind.. building a right attitude n self discipline is very important on every investmest from stock,future,forex,warrant and REITs 

there are 10 vital point below as a reference : -

  10. trade rather than gamble

second is money management.. set a limit for yourself either is a long term or short term investment and your own amount of investment.

there are 2 main point on this : 1) long term survival  2)long term growth

 

  1. long term survival

Good article. Thanks for sharing!

On controlling loss limit/day, do people practice it on daily basis? Or is it better to control loss limit/week for some of the more volatile stocks..

welcome.. i got the info through a seminar that i had attended during last Sept,after that i summarize all the info that i got into this note...

the loss limit/day is the method that practice by a professional trader on daily basis and not suitable to apply on investment that aiming for long term growth. the most practical is to setup a stop loss for every of your investment
