Rules of the Trade

Rules of the Trade – David S. Nassar

Most new traders do not fail because they pick the wrong stocks. They fail because they break the basic rules of trading survival.

In Rules of the Trade, experienced trader and author David S. Nassar sets out the essential principles that separate professional traders from the many who lose their money. Drawing on his own experience in the markets, Nassar explains how experts decide when to enter and exit trades, how they select the stocks they prefer to trade, and how they hedge their risk without giving away their profits.

Just as importantly, the book focuses on protecting your capital. Nassar shows how to avoid the operational mistakes and psychological errors, such as fear, greed and overconfidence, that so often lead traders to make poor decisions under pressure.

Organised as a set of clear, practical rules, the book is easy to follow and to come back to as a reference. It is designed to help readers build discipline and develop habits that support long-term success rather than short-term gambling.

Rules of the Trade is ideal for active traders, day traders and investors who want to approach the markets more professionally, and for anyone looking for a practical, no-nonsense guide to trading discipline and risk management.
