5 Fundamental Truth about Trading

  1. Anything can happen.
  2. Does not need to know what’s going to happen next to make money.
  3. Random distribution between wins and losses for any given set of variables that defines an edge
  4. Edge is nothing more than an indication of a higher probability of one thing happening over another
  5. Every moment in the market is unique.

“Everyone has a plan ’til they get punched in the mouth.”

That’s one of the central challenges of trading. We set out with plans, then we get punched in the mouth with adverse movement.

Practice random acts of kindness. Before committing to a relationship ask not what the other person will be able to give to you, but rather what will you be able to give them.
