The Best Trading Proverbs

Discussion in 'Trading' started by JTrades, May 29, 2014.

  1. Yes, exactly. I think the entry requires much more expertise and is of much greater importance than the profit taking exit. If your entry is wrong, you have a problem.
    But even if your exit is a wide miss, you never go out of business making a profit.
    I would explain this thought more in detail, right or wrong, but it's 20 minutes past my
    bedtime. So good night.

  7. "If you're afraid, don't do it. If you're doing it, don't be afraid" - Genghis Khan

    I think Yoda just paraphrased it: "Do. Or do not. There is no try"
