At some point the market makes everyone feel like a genius. That's the seduction and the trap! You eventually get rewarded for breaking a rule, and then you’ll break more rules; then the blowup! In the end, nothing more to show but a thrill ride. There's no longevity in luck.

Not every trade works out for me. Far from it! I lose half the time. But EVERY trade is a good play at the time, because my risk is always a fraction of my likely reward. And that's the secret... I always get odds on my money. In trading, that's the definition of a "good choice."
In any performance business the bottom line is winning, hitting the goal, getting the job done. Winners do what they have to do to win. Losers make excuses why they didn't perform. A way to win and a way to lose ALWAYS exists. It's a matter of the quality of the choices we make. pic.twitter.com/RXvu4o4FBC
