Quote of the Day
Standing on the shoulders of giants.
Over a decade of quotes on trading, discipline, patience and mindset that I keep coming back to. Some from market legends, some from philosophers, a few from the trail.
Read one before the open. Then go do the work.

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”
