    That book is a blast from the past, read it almost 20 years ago.

    A - Always go in the opposite direction you were originally going to. Unless you catch yourself thinking this first. In which case, go in the opposite direction.
    C - Close your winning position as soon as you breakeven to avoid potential losses.
    T - Take your Broker to court for auto liquidating your position right at the low.
    I - am never going to do that ever again - once I get my next tranche of trading capital together.
    O - my God. How the hell did that happen! I only went to make a cup of coffee.
    N - Never enter a trade without being ready to change your timeframe if it goes against you.

    Yep, read it over a decade ago as well. I think author was indicted on some charges. Some of the things in the book was since fiction. Like the guy with the dog and clouds.
