Joseph Dedona, dalam wawancara yang dimuat dalam buku: Electronic Trading Masters Secret from the Pros, membuka rahasia suksesnya:

Q: Do you use moving averages or indicators like that?

No. The most important chart I watch in addition to the stock I'm watching, is the S&P 500 futures chart. That is like God on my screen. It is very accurate in signaling the direction of the market.

Dia juga tidak pernah menyimpan saham semalaman. Beli hari itu, jual juga di hari itu:

I would worry that half my portfolio could be wiped out overnight. There's no better feeling than going home at the end of the day without holding stocks, since nothing is going to hurt me.

Untuk itu dia melakukan trading dengan sangat cepat:
I'm usually in a trade less than a minute. Thirty seconds. Ten seconds. Five seconds. I'm just trying to catch short-term volatility of the market and then get out.

Untuk itu dia tidak pernah serakah dalam mengejar cuan:
Yesterday I bought CMGI at 179 and offered it at 180. When I saw that the price was not moving up, I immediately hit a bid for 1791â„8. So I only made an eighth on it

Sehingga ketika dia ditanya:

So you're not greedy.

Dia dengan enteng menjawab:

I'll usually leave something on the table in profit potential. The funny thing is that some guys are much slower typers than I am, so while I've already bought and sold a stock, they're still typing their orders to sell and sometimes they will even make more money on a trade than I will if there is a really strong move. Of course, sometimes they'll get burnt because they're just slower than I am in getting out.
