A few obvious points

Only risk what you can afford to lose
Don't just focus on companies you like; focus on companies that are a good investment
Buy lower, sell higher
Review historic data; it's not always a direct guide, especially in times like the present, but it can be an indicator
Make sure you know how long you need to hold for before you can sell
Make sure you know which products you can buy/sell
Look at platform commissions and make sure you factor into your finances/spreads
If you are investing, rather than day trading, look long term and don't chase losses
If you have inside knowledge, don't exploit it; it might be illegal
