Dennis Gartman’s 22 “Rules of Trading
1. Never, under any circumstance add to a losing position.... ever! Nothing more need
be said; to do otherwise will eventually and absolutely lead to ruin!
2. Trade like a mercenary guerrilla. We must fight on the winning side and be willing
to change sides readily when one side has gained the upper hand.
3. Capital comes in two varieties: Mental and that which is in your pocket or account.
Of the two types of capital, the mental is the more important and expensive of the
two. Holding to losing positions costs measurable sums of actual capital, but it
costs immeasurable sums of mental capital.
4. The objective is not to buy low and sell high, but to buy high and to sell higher. We
can never know what price is "low." Nor can we know what price is "high." Always
remember that sugar once fell from $1.25/lb to 2 cent/lb and seemed "cheap" many
times along the way.
5. In bull markets we can only be long or neutral, and in bear markets we can only be
short or neutral. That may seem self-evident; it is not, and it is a lesson learned too
late by far too many.
6. "Markets can remain illogical longer than you or I can remain solvent," according
to our good friend, Dr. A. Gary Shilling. Illogic often reigns and markets are
enormously inefficient despite what the academics believe.
7. Sell markets that show the greatest weakness, and buy those that show the greatest
strength. Metaphorically, when bearish, throw your rocks into the wettest paper
sack, for they break most readily. In bull markets, we need to ride upon the
strongest winds... they shall carry us higher than shall lesser ones.
8. Try to trade the first day of a gap, for gaps usually indicate violent new action. We
have come to respect "gaps" in our nearly thirty years of watching markets; when
they happen (especially in stocks) they are usually very important.
9. Trading runs in cycles: some good; most bad. Trade large and aggressively when
trading well; trade small and modestly when trading poorly. In "good times," even
errors are profitable; in "bad times" even the most well researched trades go awry.
This is the nature of trading; accept it.
10. To trade successfully, think like a fundamentalist; trade like a technician. It is
imperative that we understand the fundamentals driving a trade, but also that we
understand the market's technicals. When we do, then, and only then, can we or
should we, trade.
11. Respect "outside reversals" after extended bull or bear runs. Reversal days on the
charts signal the final exhaustion of the bullish or bearish forces that drove the
market previously. Respect them, and respect even more "weekly" and "monthly,"
reversals.
12. Keep your technical systems simple. Complicated systems breed confusion;
simplicity breeds elegance.
13. Respect and embrace the very normal 50-62% retracements that take prices back
to major trends. If a trade is missed, wait patiently for the market to retrace. Far
more often than not, retracements happen... just as we are about to give up hope
that they shall not.
14. An understanding of mass psychology is often more important than an
understanding of economics. Markets are driven by human beings making human
errors and also making super-human insights.
15. Establish initial positions on strength in bull markets and on weakness in bear
markets. The first "addition" should also be added on strength as the market shows
the trend to be working. Henceforth, subsequent additions are to be added on
retracements.
16. Bear markets are more violent than are bull markets and so also are their
retracements.
17. Be patient with winning trades; be enormously impatient with losing trades.
Remember it is quite possible to make large sums trading/investing if we are
"right" only 30% of the time, as long as our losses are small and our profits are
large.
The BBC are truly awful
When Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May were flying high with Top Gear
The BBC tried to replace one of them with an "Ethnic Minority Presenter" for diversity reasons
One of my early students spotted this today, which lead to a short from 7812 to 7776... a 36 point trade, worth $1,800 per contract. The significance of it? Yesterday, I released a video about this particular setup; how to recognize it, and how to trade it (hint - it's pinned to my profile). Here it is, today... caught by a student!
Tomorrow, I will announce how you can join us.
This was last night on the reopen, I called out the bullish weekly reopen and covered my shorts right after. I spoke about all the levels that are important in both ES and NQ in the show and reiterated them all on the Spaces I did last night after the show.
Stop predicting NQ at open
Just wait for 1H Candle to Close
If the 1H opening candle is green → 72.66% green day.
If the 1H opening candle is red → 74.79% red day
This is the cheat code to determine bias for the day
London Kill Zone is where 70% of my income is made.
2AM – 5AM EST.
Only 3 hours.
That’s it.
Here’s the full system.
Why London prints money
Asian session builds the range.
It marks the High and Low.
Smart money waits.
When London opens, they hunt those levels.
Sweep the stops.
Displace hard.
Leave an FVG.
Then reverse.
Most retail traders are sleeping or overtrading Asia.
That’s why the edge exists.
The exact timeline (minute by minute)
1:30 AM → Pre-market
Mark Asian High + Low
Mark BSL / SSL / PDH / PDL
Set alerts
Then sit still.
2:00 AM → London opens
Volatility jumps.
Watch the 15M chart.
2:00 – 2:15 AM → Macro Window 1
First possible sweep.
2:33 – 3:00 AM → Macro Window 2 THE GOLDEN WINDOW
This is where most high-probability entries happen.
50% of my trades come from here.
4:00 – 4:15 AM → Macro Window 3
Last chance. Lower RR.
5:00 AM → London closes
No setup? Close the charts.
Zero trades is a valid day.
A typical trade (this happens almost every day)
- Asian Low gets swept at 2:33 AM
- Strong displacement candle
- Clean FVG left behind
- Enter at the CE (50% of the FVG)
- Stop below the sweep
- Target Asian High first, then extension
Risk: 6 pips
Reward: 4R+
Active time: under 40 minutes
Same pattern. Same money. Almost daily.
Pre-London Checklist (do this every single day)
☐ Daily bias set (HH/HL or LH/LL)
☐ Asian High marked
☐ Asian Low marked
☐ BSL above marked
☐ SSL below marked
☐ PDH + PDL marked
☐ DXY direction checked
☐ No high-impact news
☐ Alerts set on every key level
If all boxes are checked → you are READY.
Decision rules after the sweep
Sweep + FVG formed → Enter at CE
Sweep but no FVG → Wait for pullback to Order Block
No sweep by 3:30 AM → Skip London, wait for NY
No sweep by 5:00 AM → No trade today. That’s fine.
London is not complicated.
It’s just disciplined.
Mark the levels.
Wait for the sweep.
Enter the imbalance.
Take the money.
Close the charts.
5 hours of opportunity.
19 hours of patience.
The patience is the real edge.
Save this.
Fawlty Towers (10th October 1975). Frantic at the news that some hotel inspectors are in town, Basil draws the wrong conclusion after an initially testy conversation with Mr Hutchinson (Bernard Cribbins).
Anyone who knows anything about me knows this hurts
He was the greatest actor of his generation,making comedy look simple and solid drama even more effortless
He was a rascal and I loved him…
Richard O’ Sullivan
RIP
I’ll just say….sausage rolls…….!
Surgery is over, the aftermath is a lot more painful than I imagined. I’m told it gets better rapidly. I should be home tomorrow. Thank you all so very much for the messages youve sent me, the prayers you have prayed for me and the good thoughts and vibes you’ve sent my way. I truly do appreciate them all.

“What is the purpose of our defence policy?”
“To defend Britain!”
“No Bernard. It’s to make people believe Britain is defended”
“The Russians?”
“No, the British. The Russians know it’s not defended”
