2. Eliminate Risk Quickly and Let Profits Run
Minimizing risk is far more important than making money. Our first objective in Indices trading is to make the Stock Index trade less risky. We achieve this by only entering high probability trade patterns, setting stop loss orders, cutting losses quick & never average down, & letting the profitable trade transactions run for a while, just long enough, but not very long, in order and so as to increase the profits. Profitable Index trade positions are only held open as long as the system shows the market trend is in place, these trades should be closed immediately once and as soon as your exit trading signal criteria is generated and given by the system.
3. Select/Choose the Right Index
Once you have your system, you'll want to begin testing it on a practice demo trade account. Stock Index have their own characteristics different from others. A system will give different results for each Indices.

4. Use Index Money Management Guidelines
Always risk less than 2% per Stock position. With compounding, you'll be surprised to see how quickly your account grows once you begin to trade with a profitable system.
5. Keep a Journal
Keeping a log of all your Index trade positions will help you to become a better & better & will help you as a trader follow the trading rules of your system. A journal will also keep track of your profitable Indices trade positions & losses & you as a stock indices trader can analyze and interpret why a trade setup was profitable and why it wasn't.
6. Set take Profit Targets
Establish a daily, weekly, monthly trade profit targets when trading the market. Once you as a trader hit this target, stop trading & take a break. This will stop you from overtrading and will also stop you giving back your trading profits to the market. Keep your risk:reward ratio high, a 3:1 risk reward ratio is best. This means only opening indices trades only when you have the probability of making 3times more than what you are risking.
