The 4 basic questions

Before entering a trade someone must ask themselves 4 basic questions:

1. Where to enter (trigger)
2. Why enter (which strategy)
3. Where to put the stop loss (maximum loss)
4. Where is the target (exit)

Repetitive failure to answer to any of these questions will lead, in the long term, to total loss of the initial capital.
