Reading a lot of books lately on trading, and I sometimes get the feeling its "do as I say not as I do". Especially when it comes to news trading, and other types of trades that are quick.
Too general; which rules are you referring too? 1) Entry rules 2) Exit rules 3) Money managment rules 4) Scheduled news reports/earnings/speeches/etc) rules 5) Event (terrorism/earthquakes/assassinations/etc) rules 6) Personal state-of-mind (hangover/sickness/death of family member/etc) rules For me, state-of-mind, money management, and news rules are ALWAYS. Entry and event rules are MOST OF THE TIME. Exit rules are SOMETIMES. Happy Holidays.
