Livermore’s Strategies:<br />

• Understand <strong>the</strong> general trend <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> market. You must one<br />

in tune with what <strong>the</strong> market is currently doing and be<br />

observant <strong>of</strong> it at <strong>all</strong> times. Watch and move with <strong>the</strong><br />

market; don’t fight against it.<br />

• Buy <strong>stock</strong>s hitting new highs in price as <strong>the</strong>y pass through<br />

certain resistance areas. Use a probing strategy to test your<br />

moves and pyramid additional buys on increases in price.<br />

• Cut your losses short. Protect yourself <strong>from</strong> a wrong<br />

decision at no more that a 10% loss. Sell drifting <strong>stock</strong>s, as<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir inaction is an opportunity cost.
