A small allocation is a strategy. A large allocation is a business. How you handle yourself in market corrections instructs allocators how you will handle yourself with their money.

Have a game plan ahead of time. The market is always right - don't deflect blame. Really good traders understand themselves very well. They have ownership of their emotions and trading.

Pairs trading is a good way to have a hedge that you can actually make money on. Simultaneously long one name and short another.
