To paraphrase, "Trading is 95% perspiration and only 5% inspiration."

 

It kind of goes with: "The harder I work, the luckier I get."

 

 

I have also read...

 

95% of the work is before the order is entered.

 

 

 

edit: that means you can start dreaming as soon as you entered your order !

.

Focusing on the outcome of a single trade as if its outcome mattered, and evaluating each as good or bad,

demonstrates lack of faith in your trading plan. Indulging yourself in such trivial judgments is at best

a distraction from your ultimate goal as a trader - and that is to get your trading into the long run.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

Information is not knowledge.

 

Albert Einstein

 

Note, information is what people find in forums. Knowledge comes from experience (screen time) and asking the correct questions needed to be answered.

It should be possible to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid.

 

Albert Einstein

 

Note, substitute the word Laws for "rules" and the word physics for "trading".

 

Personal note, to me, the ironic nature of people trying to build a profitable trading system is the fact, they don't even know the "rules" of the trading game to start with. So, how can they expect to be profitable?

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

 

Albert Einstein

 

Personal note, as it pertains to trading, leave out the word "hope". A trader should know.

Make everything as simple as possible, but not any simpler.

 

Albert Einstein

 

Note, translation for trading means, don't add what not required nor remove what's necessary.

 

Do you think Albert Einstein would use indicators such as MACD, VWAP, RSI, histogram or even volume..

No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.

 

Albert Einstein

 

Note, translation for trading. Take said problem to the "next level". Think outside the box. If what is written in trading books and seminars worked we would all be rich. Think, what type of system is Goldman Sachs utilizing to be profitable 89 out of 90 trading days.

Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person.

 

Albert Einstein

 

Personal note, even if someone devotes all of themselves to trading, it does not guarantee mastery of trading, unless that person knows the "rules" of trading first. Then, gets answers to the correct questions that needs to be answered thereafter.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
