Lesson from 50 years in the markets:
The goal isn't to make a fortune on your next trade.
It's to still be trading five years from now.
The traders who last aren't usually the ones who make the most on a single trade.
They're the ones who survive long enough for skill, discipline, and consistency to compound.
Fall in love with the process of placing good trades, not the goal.
When you fall in love with the goal, you desperately try to reach it prematurely by doing things you shouldn't be doing.
