Many people think there are only two types of trades: winning trades and losing trades. But that simply isn't true, there are four types of trades: winning trades, losing trades, good trades, and bad trades. A good trade can lose money and a bad trade can make money, the markets are perverse. But you're certain to go broke if you take a lot of bad trades.

This reminded me of capital preservation in a way.

"-It's like when going into battle your armor is firm and reflects all. As the battle begins you take a hit here take a hit there. At the same time you're taking down countless enemy after countless enemy. As the enemies start to thin out so do you. Now your armor is thin. One shot could pierce right through. This is when it counts most to stay on you game to save up all that you have left for that one last battle. To come out victorious in the end"

 

[Exodus]

Your only ONE bad trade away from ending your career!

Quote from DetachedTrader:

Soros has taught me that when you have tremendous conviction conviction on a trade, you have to go for the jugular. It takes courage to be a pig. It takes courage to ride a profit with huge leverage. As far as Soros is concerned, when you're right on something, you can't own enough."


Stanley Druckenmiller talking about George Soros. Market Wizards 2, pg. 208.
