Have a strategy. Test it before you put real money into it. Trade the businesses you know and understand. Dont be too proud to take small profits. They add up and the big profits will come.

Understand technical and fundamental trading.
Know Trading Money Management inside out.
There is no one that can answer you fully on "yahoo answers". You need to start reading as much as you can. Take your time. Don't jump into it. Be very careful of having a "gambling" mentality.
