Trading is "Paradox"

"Buy low, sell high;
Buy high, sell higher."

"Markets are always right;
Markets are always wrong."

"Trade with the trend;
Trade against the trend."

"Trade with the order of market disorders."

"The real holy grail of trading is there is no holy grail"

"The newly developed strategy works every time until starting to trade with real money."

"A profitable strategy everyone uses will be unprofitable."

"Don't put all eggs in one basket;
Put all eggs in one basket and watch it carefully."

"We don't see patterns as they want them to be;
We see patterns as we want them to be."

"It isn't we can't see real solutions;
It is we can't see real problems."

"The truth is recognising a profitable pattern is not in your eyes, but in your mind."

"Everything should be made as simple as possible; but not simpler. --- Einstein"

"From error to error, one discovers the entire truth. --- Freud"

"There is always a new profitable system offered by trading gurus after we are running out of trading capital."

"The most obvious trading rule is always least understood."

"Although this may seem a paradox, all exact science is dominated by the idea of approximation. --- Russell"

"The best profitable experience is losing money."

"Many predictions in trading have a chance of success greater than zero; but very close to it."

Perhaps Trading

(Trader A)
Perhaps trading is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of trading will bring you home

(Trader B)
Perhaps trading is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
And don't know what to do
The memory of trading will see you through

(Trader A)
Oh, trading to some is like a cloud
To some as strong as steel

(Trader B)
For some a way of living
For some a way to feel

(Trader A)
And some say trading is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say trading is everything
And some say they don't know

(Trader B joined by Trader A)
Perhaps trading is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of trading will be of you

(Trader A)
And some say trading is holding on
And some say letting go

(Trader B)
And some say trading is everything
Some say they don't know

(Trader B starts joined by Trader A)
Perhaps trading is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of trading will be of you

Those who say it cannot be done ought not to interrupt those who are doing it (old Chinese proverb)

Victory awaits those who have everything in order -
people call that luck.
Defeat is certain for those who have forgotten to take the necessary precautions in time -
that's called bad luck. (Roald Amundson, 1927, polar explorer)
 
Quote from Holmes:

Those who say it cannot be done ought not to interrupt those who are doing it (old Chinese proverb)
Holmes,

Personally, I love lots of those interruptions because it keeps reassuring me that there are many around helping pay for my wins. :D
