Best Quotes
"Rule 3: Day traders do not hold positions overnight. If necessary, you must sell with a loss to make sure you do not hold onto any stock overnight."
"Individual traders, like you and I, are called retail traders. We can be part-time traders, or full-time traders, but we're not working for a firm and we’re not managing other people's money."
"To be a successful trader, you must learn risk management rules and then firmly implement them. You must have a line in the sand that tells you when to get out of the trade. It’s going to be necessary from time to time to admit defeat and say, “I was wrong,” or “The setup isn’t ready yet,” or “I'm getting out of the way.”"
