Do not trade until you acquire some kind of trading education. (probably the most difficult).
Do not trade live until you can double a demo account using your chosen method of trading.
Do not trade until you get over using indicators.
Do not trade until you understand price action.
Freedom is not free

Do not:
Touch the terminal unless sober and well rested
Forget about what time it is
Hold loosing trades for more than 5 hours
Close trades in profit simply out of fear or greed
Be a perfectionist
Forget that no matter how efficient your system is, there are people making money with a coin flip just because they have the guts to press that BUY/SELL button
Get Rich or Die Trying

if you don't use a stop loss, when do you close a losing position?
It's bad luck to be superstitious

I have tens of taboos that I am trying to abide by, 1) do not sell after breaking up, 2) do not buy after breaking down 3) do not trade at abnormal trading times! make your rules, then strictly adhere to it
Ignored
First I thought you were talking about "break up" So not to trade after a break up due to emotions etc...

Ok, here are my DOs:
Do when you SEE the market... and the conditions are right... The more it moves, the better...
...

Ok, here are my DON'S:
do not trade outside the plan or some general guidelines for unscheduled opportunities...

and standard:

  1. learn when not to trade
  2. plan trades, trade the plan
  3. do not chase the loses
  4. detach emotions
  5. pre-set THE NUMBER at which you walk away

+if possible, avoid certain DEAD/stall times.. In markets that is usual around new year, +/- weeks.. summer pretty much shit too golden season sep-15th of DEC, second being like feb-may

Can you afford to take that chance?

Depends on the market... But it is not so much about the pips move on that date... I am more interested in potential trend change/reconfirmation...
Because I believe this will give/confirm us a trend for the the next 3-5months...

so true!

As a newbie, I am certainly not the most experienced. However, in my limited time trading this year, I agree with auricforecas and Keenpips - I'd say a few musts are:

  1. Find a method that works for you. I had been bouncing around a lot of techniques and losing on most of them. Once I found some general principles that are working and fit my personal style (a bit of technical analysis with some general rules), it feels more natural and I am having much more success - including a week of 10 for 10 positive trades.
  2. Never short cut analysis to make trade for the sake of making a trade. If I don't have time to really look at the price action levels and some historical behavior, stay on the sidelines rather than jumping in on what you think is a move. My odds drop significantly when trying to jump in on a move on a whim.

If in doubt, paddle out!

Do not...

1) enter a trade before FOMC/Interest rate decision/Non Farm Payroll news,
2) enter a sell above a strong support/buy below a strong resistance,
3) lock/hedge a losing trade,
4) follow signals blindly without understanding the plan,
5) fall for boiling frog syndrome, allowing losing trades to run away without SL.

I may not have so many rules, but I prefer to trade in a calm mode, so I can always devote enough time to it and gradually move towards my goal. It is important for me to be able to trade as planned and not take on the asset that I have not sufficiently studied. In addition, I try to build up an investment portfolio at the beginning of each month, so that I can spend less time looking for a deal and work despite the calmness of certain dynamics. I do not want to treat trading as a secondary occupation, so I make plans and keep statistics and do other slightly boring things to become a real pro.
