INTRODUCTION
A very small percentage of all traders are successful.
Yet, some traders accumulate more than 1 million dollars in trading profits.
Searching for the answer to this question is what prompted interviews with several millionaire traders.
Some of the rules that millionaires use are familiar to all traders. Others may be contrary to the common beliefs. This is volume II compiled from these interviews and follows on from the hugely influential first 25 rules, secrets and tips. However, some of the most powerful rules have been held back for volume II..
Stop orders are easy discipline. They may help you cut losses short automatically. An important factor is to place your stop when you place your order. If you don't, you're tempted to give the market "a few more pennies", only adding to your potential loss. But remember, you should use stop loss orders with great discretion because stops that are placed too tight can put you out of the market with a loss very quickly. You can become "whipsawed" by poor placement of stops.
When trading e-mini contracts, trading becomes very thin in the last few days before the contract expires. You may not find it so easy to exit at a favorable price, particularly if you have several contracts. When trading commodities, the price of a commodity during the delivery month may be more volatile. The beginning trader should move into later month contracts to avoid this added risk. The profit potential in making and taking delivery is one that should only be handled by the experienced cash market trader.
RULE #3 -
Although the price of corn historically goes down at harvest, one of the millionaire traders doesn't let that influence his trading. "Too many people try to trade seasonal trends, so look for a place to do just the opposite," he suggests.
When you go against the trend, believing that the market has either topped or bottomed, you are making yourself very vulnerable. This can be a very costly lesson to learn, say the millionaires. They prefer to let the market price action prove that a top or bottom has been formed.
RULE #8 L Lo oo ok kf fo or rg go oo od do od dd ds s..
Look for opportunities where the loss potential is small in relation to the profit potential. For example, if a market is trading near its recent historic lows, it could mean a long position has great upside potential in relation to possible loss. Watching the trading range of a market over a longer time period helps you have the perspective to determine the odds. Market fundamentals can also be helpful in finding the "high odds" situation. 7
If you want to be long, don't put a price limit order in a couple of pennies below the market, hoping to find a bargain. People who try to squeeze an extra penny out of the market frequently find the market moves almost to their target, then slips away. In hoping for an extra penny, they may give up much more. When you think it's time to do something, make your move.

You frequently hear the market is in a "technical reaction", which means that after a major move in either direction the market has a tendency to retrace up to 50% of that move. The millionaires would look for another chance to buy when the price drops by 50%.
This means finding out over what range a market has been trading, then buying in the lower half of that range or selling in the upper half. This rule is particularly useful in a trading market or in a situation where the market is trading within a chart channel. 12

A key reversal of an uptrend is usually indicated when prices make new highs on high volume, but then close lower than the previous day's close. A key reversal of a downtrend is a move into lows, then a strong recovery during the day with a close higher than the previous day's close. A key reversal may come in the form of a two-day reversal when on the first day the move is into new high ground and a close on strength. On the second day the market may open near the high close of the previous day, then close sharply lower. An island reversal is formed when prices gap into new highs on one day, then gap lower the next day.

When the market action on a price chart indicates a large "M", the price signal is to sell. When a "W" is formed, it signals a move higher.

If open interest is increasing as prices rise, it's a buying signal, especially if volume increases at the same time. The reverse is also true. If open interest increases with lower prices and on good volume, it is a selling signal.
