I have read somewhere that it is important to come up with the right metaphor for your trading. Some think of themselves as snipers, some as gardeners, etc.

I will start the ball rolling ...

I think of trading as fishing ... There's plenty of fish in the sea ... I try to catch enough to make it worthwhile ... I respect the sea and am humbled by it. All I have is my primitive hook and some skills.

Trading is like sex with a foreign girl. Neither speaks English and say the damndest things. Latest foreign girl (Indonesian) whispered in Fibo's ear the next morning, "I love your clock"

Trading is like nautical navigation as described here.

It's a sea of possibility and exploration, rewarding like no other enterprise.
 
Successful trading is like a pregnant woman. Everyone congratulates you, yet don't know how many times you were _______ to get there.

ROFL! I think what Matt meant there was "yet don't know how many times you were _______ to get there."

If I am correct on that, then damn, it's MattZ-after-dark!
