I believe that great success is possible in any field — from music to mathematics to macro trading.

You adapt, evolve, compete or die.

And then at the end of the day, the most important thing is how good are you at risk control. Ninety-percent of any great trader is going to be the risk control.

I'm always thinking about losing money as opposed to making money. Don't focus on making money, focus on protecting what you have

Don't be a hero. Don't have an ego.

The concept of paying one-hundred-and-something times earnings for any company for me is just anathema. Having said that, at the end of the day, your job is to buy what goes up and to sell what goes down so really who gives a damn about PE's?

Trading gives you an incredibly intense feeling of what life is all about.
