Here are Top Ten Trading Highlights with Patrick Walker
- Simplicity: when price is above 50 day moving average its good and worse below the 50 day moving average.
- Position sizing and diversification is key. Don’t overthink it. And never argue with price.
- Nobody knows the future. “When we accept the fact we do not know the future, we can see the future more clearly.”
- Turn off the Noise. Focus on two types of stocks. If you focus on a stock that has had great earnings and/or great sales in its categories (top 40 groups) you can make money.
- Study past winners. He learned from the market wizards, O’Neil, Ed Seykota, and that’s what helped him create a process that worked for him.
- Think of the 5 W’s for survival (Who, what, where, when and why) and apply this to your trading. If this, then that…
- Don’t make idols of this. Take care of yourself. The hand you have, look at it, this is the hand you will be buried with. Puts things into perspective.
- Run your Race. Don’t compare yourself with others.
- Focus on clean and simple price patterns that everyone can see. Remember that chart patters repeat themselves because based on human emotions such as fear, greed, complacency.
- “Only the Still Pool reflects the stars.” When you get rattled or don’t feel at your best, step away to help limit losses. If you don’t feel good, sell a little into strength, put in your stops ad go lie down. This isn’t life or death, but some people make it so. Control stress and risk. If force it, it’s a mess.
