Started with contrarian trades several years ago.
By oversizing one position one big loss occurred, since then diversification is key.
Continued to focus more and more on financial figures.
While running a strategy fully based on financial figures, detecting that not all financial figures are as accurate as they should be (various calculation methods, time delays etc.)
Hence to check the accuracy of your used financial figures is key as well.
Nowadays running rule-based filtering mainly on value and momentum stocks.
And trying to cut losses in my money managed as soon as they exceed certain thresholds.
Overall trying to stay away from my own emotions as good as possible (cut losses and let gains run).
