Thought for the day: Excuses
DinosaurTrader pointed out a quote from George Washington Yoda today on wallstreak.
“Do, or do not. There is no try.”
It is also something I have been thinking about. I have come to the conclusion that there are no excuses in trading. There may be some possible reasons for a certain outcome, but there are no excuses. You either do it or you don’t.
