Some have asked for a recap and order of importance for my protocols. I will throw out there a summation of what I try to do and stay conscious of when I play. I said try, it is difficult at times.
You can follow, guess or do what many do (against my better judgment) wagering OLD or FLD only, etc., etc.
But to me there is so much more and a greater depth to some type of success and control than just wagering blindly and chip stacking and hopefully cashing out at the correct time. The correct time meaning, when you get onto your plateau if you won and risked a portion safely to attempt to win more, etc.
My 5 most important things to be conscious of while gambling: Sections, Turning Points, Positive Progressions, 1/3rd-1/3rd-1/3 Money Management and My Plateaus.
I usually have 2 types of wagering going, one is my 1-3-2-6 or 1-3-2-4 positive progression and the other one is my 1+4 parlay wager with win money starting out with the '1 Unit'.
Don't be influenced but be very aware of the positive effects and power of great camaraderie.
I won't cite some of the sections off a piece I wrote but to me, there are many good tips within:

Would you describe Sections as some events hitting within a window of events or cycle and when they change to something else you call it Turning Points
Trying to understand the lingo ...

I touched on those, trying to lay some ground work for discussions but not juicy enough or as exciting as automatic card shufflers cheating scheme, dealers cheating and the huge conspiracies orchestrated by the casino management to snatch all the baccarat player's money, LOL!
Here are two links, there are many more in my Blog and some other threads I posted under Baccarat.
