“Great people have all been criminals in the grand style: crime is inherent in greatness.
They desire the danger - and they will risk the ends and the means to it.”

You want to succeed,
but you can’t follow your own rules.

If you can’t control yourself with a small account,
you won’t control yourself with a big one.

Discipline scales. So does chaos.

[Kenan Arık @iamyoungcaesar]

The best traders look bored.

Because they only act
when there’s an undeniable edge.

If you’re constantly stimulated,
you’re probably constantly wrong.

[Kenan Arık @iamyoungcaesar]

You don’t need more concepts.
You need fewer excuses.

Clarity beats complexity.
Simplicity scales.

You’re not afraid of losing.
You’re afraid of missing out after you exit.

That’s why you hold losers
and cut winners.

Reverse it or stay average.

[Kenan Arık @iamyoungcaesar]

Your strategy didn’t fail.
Your discipline did.

Same setup.
Different outcome.

The variable is you.

[Kenan Arık @iamyoungcaesar]

Detach your identity from your trades.
The moment your ego enters, your edge disappears.

People are often not influenced by the true facts of a situation; more often, they are influenced by what makes the most vivid impression on their mind.

Some people love you enough to walk away.

Sometimes the radical solution is just letting capitalism work.
