#1 Not fighting trends=trying to catch/stop falling knives
#2 Not holding volatile stocks over the weekend
#3 Either selling quicker if down or if holding waiting until a real bottom and reversal to average down.
#4 Avoiding small companies unless it is a daytrade and I can't watch it tick by tick.
Since doing these things and being back in the game about 2 weeks I'm doing much better :) (Of course I lost my azz when the market went from 10k to 6500 because I was trying to fight the trend/catch the bottom...LOL)
