Rage against the machine

What you should learn

It’s not the market. It’s not the system. Maybe it’s you.

Reference: Inspired by Dr.Van K. Tharp’s newsletter

Trade what you are ( that makes money...though )“ How you trade, what you trade, and the frequency of the traders you make all come down to who you are as a person, not what you know about a specific financial instrument. ”-- Michael Martin: Successful Trader, Lecturer at UCLA and NYSSA, the author of “The Inner Voice of Trading”

“ The goal for the trader is to develop a system with which he is compatible. ”

--Ed Seykota: Market Wizard
