Few of my favorite trading quotes/sayings:
Be swift or be dead. Be different do the work. Stops are in, emotions are out. It's not house money: its your money if you take it. Speculation is not for the lazy.
And a lot more from Jesse Livermore. This is trader I've found to be the most useful for me but his techniques can get you killed in futures. But, I learn a lot from him for swings.

There are only five possible outcomes in trading.
1) Big Losses 2) Big Wins 3) Small Losses 4) Smll Wins 5) Breaking Even
Stay away from the first one and the rest will take very good care of you and your capital.

5-"Chaos is not dangerous until it begins to look orderly."
8-"It is unlikely that God's plan for the universe includes making you rich."
Also the rest of "The Zurich Axioms", but those two above are my favorites.

"If you're buying into the market, then by definition, you're saying the person selling to you is an idiot."
i don't remember who said this, but i think it was from an interview with a hedge fund manager
it keeps me in perspective that we are always trading against the best and brightest, no matter who or where they are
any trade that i take must have good reasons behind it

When Oscar shouts his famous motto at the end of his youtube videos, my wife asks me why I listen to it every time. I just laugh at her and tell her she has to be a trader to understand.
She's always wondering why I am listening to the guy who is always yelling at me from my computer, lol. It is very infectious.
I still haven't finished all of your youtube videos Oscar. I am around late August 2007. I wanted to pay special attention to your comments on the 8/16/07-8/17/07 move.
I was up that morning on 8/17/07 watching CNBC when the futures shot up like crazy on that Fed announcement. I was totally blown away.

Think about this in the context of trading ......
"When it rain, if you dont have an umbrella, you're going to get wet and if it floods, you're going to need a boat to keep you afloat."
