We are traders and masters of risk. When you become pro you stop over analysing and all you do is sit there, and wait, and wait, and wait some more until you find the perfect trade. What I am saying is that the market makes all the decisions. Our only decision is to listen, feel, and respond to the market’s siren. Always and without exception. Remember, the market never lies. It is only we who lie to ourselves.

Basektball scoring average versus risk and reward
This morning something struck my mind! I am a huge basketball fan. I am the kind of guy who's into numbers and analytics. Being a huge Michael Jordan fan throughout my earlier, I've always wondered how Jordan could possible average 30 points a game. To my astonishment, I went through some NBA statistics and found out that Jordan was able to string streaks of 40 or more points per game. He even had a 63 point game! He sometimes would have 25 points a game, but he had so many 35-40 point and this helped pad his scoring average. Some Players in the NBA average 15 points a game. Players then next time get 10 points, some nights 5 points, or even 20 points. My point here is these players were never consistent in scoring. Up and down and all around goes their scoring average. What I noticed in Jordan was that he was very consistent in averaging 30 plus points a game. What made him even a better scorer was that he shot 50% from the field. That is a high percentage in the NBA. Imagine having a 50% winning average and getting like 1:3, or 1:5 risk to reward in your trading! Its no wonder Jordan was able to become one NBA's all time scoring average leader. Trading is the same formula. Risk less and reward more.
