JTrader

Trading is the only job where the best decision of the year is often to log off.

Every rule you wrote was written by the best version of you.
Every rule you break is broken by the most scared one.
Trading is just deciding which one holds the mouse.

The faster you try to recover, the longer it takes.
The harder you push, the slower the printer runs.
The more you need it, the further it goes.

The market gives you one chance to be right.
And a hundred chances to ruin it.

Trading is the only profession where your worst enemy uses your own hands.

A bad trader with rules beats a good trader without them.

A 50% drawdown needs a 100% recovery.
A 70% drawdown needs a 233% recovery.
A 90% drawdown needs a 900% recovery.

Trading is a mirror that costs money to look into.
It shows you exactly how you handle uncertainty and how badly you need to be right.

Trading is the only job where being early feels exactly like being wrong.

Favorite trading movie?

There's a mathematically perfect amount to bet.
Bet more than it, and you get POORER even with a winning system.

To offend a strong man, tell him a lie.
To offend a weak man, tell him the truth.

Trading is the only job where the right answer feels wrong.

Every trade you take to feel productive costs you the trade you were supposed to be saving energy for.

Survival × small edge × time = everything.
Stop trying to get rich this month.
Start trying to still be here in five years.
