Is your office buried under a flood of papers? If so, you are not alone. Papers are accumulated everywhere: employees maintain a personal archive, each office maintains an archive and then there is an official company archive. The result is storage requirements for paper documents grows at a rate of 20-25% every year. If that cost alone wasn’t hurting businesses, Sarbanes-Oxley now requires businesses to properly maintain and quickly retrieve many business records. Mor

1) Know at what price you will exit, even before you enter a position, in case the position goes against you. Know how much money you are willing to lose, whether that amount is a percentage of your portfolio or a fixed dollar amount helps keep your precious trading capital in tact and ready to win.
