Let’s invoke PEACE. 
Follow these basic rules when trading:
-
Keep Learning on A Daily Basis:
The markets are changing every single day and the strategies that you may have used 5 years ago might not work now. You need to continue to educate yourself on a daily basis. -
Don’t Let Losses Compound:
As per your trading plan you should know when and where you should cut your losses. Whether it’s a technical failure or percentage move doesn’t matter as long as you have something in place to mitigate risk. -
Master One Strategy At A Time:
Never jump from one trading style to another. Master one style and strategy first rather than becoming average at several. Focus and work hard to completely understand every angle, abnormality, risk, reward of say Credit Spreads and then move on to Iron Condors.
Don’t be a jack of all trades, when it comes to options trading until you have experience.

Yes, we should read his life-history also.
