Memorable Quotes:

“Trading lets you improve yourself every single day.”

“Understand the previous trades had absolutely no relationship with the moving forward trades... So accept the loss and actually understand that it has nothing to do with the new trade that you’re just about to take.”

“The losses do not mean failure. Losses lead us to step back. Learn, fix, try again.”
