Research the stocks' financial health. I think that trading a stock without knowing it's financial numbers is as irresponsible as investing in a stock without research, but then again I'm a swing trader and hold my stocks for four to eight weeks. The financial parameters I look for are...
P/E of less than 15
Debt Equity ratio of 0.3 or less
Net Profit margin of 10% or greater
Return on equity of 10% or greater
Earnings/Share of $1 or more
Whether the insiders are buying or selling (very important)
Chart volatility
There are more things I look at, but those factors are most important to me and the first things I look for when considering a stock.

I've found patience, discipline , timing and a dash of Luck, to be most useful, if only I would take my own advice on this !
Scripophilist,
A very profound statement; so true too!
I took at a look at your profile and marvelled at the transparent head gear. Was this taken in Iraq and are you - for I cannot see below your chin - ruminating on past experience or looking forward to the future?
Best wishes,
Sean

When you make a profitable trade, fight the tendancy to give some of your profits back.
Learn from your losses. These will probably be the most expensive lessons you will learn so it is best to make the most of them.
Always use stops.

Homeschoolma.. Interesting list. Before I was converted to TA several years ago I also followed a similar game plan. Consider adding a few more, after researching them of course. 1. Sales growth ( Harder for bean counters to fudge) 2. LOw PEG ( Price/ earnings ratio.) 3. Free cash flow growth. 4. SEctors with strong relative strength. If this is the beginning of a sustained bull market I will revert to my old plan plus TA for timing. Good Luck. Luck
