Never add to a losing position! (Unless scaling in was part of the plan). Which brings up the other important one: Always plan your trade and trade your plan.

The market's "Job One" is to decieve; thus discussion of how the market "looks" or "feels" is counterproductive at best/disasterous at worst. Context is everything.
