One of the hardest things for traders to learn:
– Marty Schwartz
“There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”
– Nelson Mandela
“The key is consistency and discipline. Almost anybody can make up a list of rules that are 80% as good as what we taught. What they can’t do is give (people) the confidence to stick to those rules even when things are going bad.”
– Richard Dennis, on Turtle Trading
“I encourage you to find your inner demons & worst weaknesses, fess up to them, and then take action to correct them — no matter how crazy it seems. In trading and in life.”
– Don Miller
“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.”
– Robert Louis Stevenson
“The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man’s determination.”
– Tommy Lasorda
“The ability to change one’s mind is probably a key characteristic of successful traders. Dogmatic and rigid personalities rarely succeed in markets. The markets are a dynamic process and sustained trading success requires the ability to modify and even change strategies as markets evolve. Successful traders have the ability to adapt to the changing dynamics of the market and in the process maintain their consistency of performance.”
– Gill Blake
“When you’re a beautiful person on the inside, there is nothing in the world that can change that about you”
– Sasha Azevedo
“Trading is very simple; either you make money or you don’t make money. I wasn’t depending on anyone else. When you work for someone else, if you make money somebody gives you a bonus and if you lose money, somebody else pays your salary. When I was working for myself, it was the ultimate meritocracy, I was worth exactly what I made, no more, no less.”
– David Kyte
