The Seven Rules of Trading: Part Three

[Trading With Larry Benedict]( The Seven Rules of Trading: Part Three By Larry Benedict, editor, Trading With Larry Benedict This year the markets have been volatile… just like I predicted back in January. I was even quoted in the media saying… 2022 will be a tough year for the broad market with Nasdaq underperforming all indexes. I believe all indexes will be negative for the year. While many believed the exact opposite, I saw the storm clouds ahead. And I helped my subscribers profit even during the rockiest periods of 2022. A big part of that came from the insights I developed during my decades on Wall Street. And this week, I’ve been sharing seven of my top trading rules with readers in these pages… To catch up, you can find Part One [here]( and Part Two [here](. Now, continue reading to learn the next two rules on my list… Recommended Link [What’s the No. 1 ticker for 2023?]( [image]( Millionaire investor Brad Thomas has discovered 500 of the fastest-growing companies in America in terms of revenue growth over the last 3 years, with growth starting at 212% and going all the way up to 87,037%. Even in the best years, gains like these have been almost unheard of, but Brad has identified 500 companies that are making money like crazy. All you need is this one ticker, and every time these companies make money, YOU make money. Today, tomorrow and for the rest of your life.

No matter how small or how few times per trading session, you should always look to have a positive profit-and-loss (P&L). Not every trade needs to be a grand slam. If that were easy to do on every single trade, everyone would do it. Trading is really about building up a strong base of capital, little by little, and then using that capital base to take on larger position sizes – while still keeping the same risk discipline. Let’s say you make a 10% return on a $1,000 account. That’s $100. Your account size is now $1,100, and a 10% return is now bigger at $110. That’s a very simple example. But you can see how shooting for singles on numerous trades will grow your account size larger and exponentially increase your overall cash returns. [The One Ticker Retirement Plan Over the Shoulder Demo Now Available]( This is how every new trader should start out. It’s how my [One Ticker Trader]( members built up an overall return of over 148% since we launched this past August. Even smaller wins can add up impressively with a little time. Aim to constantly put a “P” on the page, so you can build up a strong base of capital. Once you’ve done that, you can take on larger and riskier positions. That takes us to the next rule… Rule No. 6: Earn your risk. This one takes a bit of explaining… but it’s the main concept that made me the trader I am today. When you’re first starting out trading, you should only trade very small position sizes and take small gains as they come. If you try to shoot for the home run on every single trade, you’ll quickly wipe out your account, wind up penniless, and swear off trading forever. The only time you should swing for the fences is when you’ve built up a strong foundation of capital to work with. Just as I described above, every profit you take grows your account. You can keep your position size the same, and your return will increase exponentially. That’s how smart traders get rich. They “earn” riskier trades by profiting on a large number of smaller ones. That’s sustainability. And sustainability, along with strict discipline and money management, is what makes a good trader a great trader. Tomorrow, we’ll wrap up with the final rule… Regards, Larry Benedict Editor, Trading With Larry Benedict P.S. In [One Ticker Trader]( we focus on just a single ticker each and every month, with roughly three to five trades per month. It’s a great way to gain experience with options if you’re new to them… and build up your capital base. Like I mentioned above, we’ve eked out an overall return of 148% in under five months… and I’m looking forward to continuing to profit in 2023.

On the air, I shared a prediction that’s already playing out in the markets, right now. I said the Fed wouldn’t raise rates as much as most in the mainstream media expect. And so far, I’m right. Later in the segment, Fox host Charles Payne asked me: “What’s happening that most people might be missing… that you really want people to know?” I only had a few seconds to answer on the show, so I’ve recently decided to record another, more in-depth [interview to show viewers exactly what people are missing in today’s markets.]( In it, I also made a big new prediction about what the Federal Reserve will likely do next… and what Americans can do to ensure their financial future is protected.” — Nomi Prins [Click here to see the entire interview.]( [image]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Get Instant Access Click to read these free reports and automatically sign up for daily research.
