    Another good one for intraday traders... this one from The Matrix, kinda... ;)

    "Do not try and bend the trend, that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth...there is no trend. Then you will see it is not the trend that bends, it is only yourself.

    Since it me that is big on "trading well and fuck the results" - I surmise this directed at me - more or less

    Cool..., let's apply a little common sense just to determine if you're proverb holds water


    "It is all about the results"

    Hmmm

    Being that we're traders - our only result would be a PnL

    So you think it best focusing on PnL..., while trading = good (proper) trading

    And in another thread..., you said a 30% draw down was acceptable while you waited on price to return


    All I'll say is; Hmmmm
