Well, the first and most important advice would be portfolio diversification, don`t put your eggs in one basket, split your portfolio in 3 so you have 1/3 for long term investing, 1/3 for medium term or swing trading and the last 1/3 for short term investment  or margin scalping, And another one would be STUDY, never stop, look for knowledge. Oh, and be cool with losing money, it is an intrinsic part of trading.

I think there`s still a chance for 6700-6800, will wait for that with the December contract, got a nice short grid of orders starting from 6500. But to be covered I opened a short on the March contract at 6300 and will add to it at 67ish. You are right, nice move yesterday, bagged 15% profit.
