“Not risking is the surest way of losing. If you do not risk, risk eventually comes to you. There is simply no way to avoid taking a risk. If a person postpones taking risks, the time eventually comes when he will either be forced to accept a situation that he does not like or take a risk unprepared.”
“Anyone who buys or sells a stock, a bond, or a commodity for profit is speculating if he employs intelligent foresight. If he does not, he is gambling.”
“Most successful traders at some stage have a breakthrough, an Aha! experience. Often this is not new information, or a new approach, but the time was just right, they had matured and were ready to ‘see’ in a new way, to apprehend things clearly on a conceptual level, rather than a technical level.”

You do not need to struggle. All you need to do is to show up and participate in the context of the new trading target. Trading in terms of an expanded target means having the courage to look for what is missing in your trading strategy. This becomes the source of the breakthrough you can produce.—-Trading to Win, Ari Kiev
