I promise you this…

Not every trade will go according to plan.

Not every trading session will go according to plan.

You will have to deal with a LOT of crap outcomes in this business.

And your success DEPENDS upon how well you manage that crap.

A profitable trade sequence. But messy.

That’s often the way this business is.

“Don’t expect trading to be perfect. Aim instead to be good enough to operate alongside the imperfection and uncertainty and doubt and general mind-fuckery that is the markets.” 

That’s one you might want to put on a post-it note.

Happy trading,
