This is the number of market days in a row, without mistake, that I have followed my rules. I believe that consistency and discipline are one of the most important qualities for a successful trader. Therefore, the higher the number that you see here, the more successful I have become. I use this "score" as a record of my progress, which is very similar to freecell, of which I am a pro.

Some of my rules:

• Trade with the trend
• Limit loss to 1-2% of trading equity
• Always enter a stop order immediately after entering a position
• Buy only the strongest stocks
• Do not over trade
