The Paradoxes of Trading:

• The longer you wait to confirm a trend reversal, the more you have missed the price
• The tighter you set your stop, in order to decrease risk, the greater the chance that all trades fail due to random movement
• The smaller you set your profit target, to improve chances of winning, the more your profits are eaten by commissions

The more you analyze, the less you act.
The more you diversify, the more you're likely to get mediocre returns.
The more you focus on short-term gains, the less likely you are to achieve long-term success.
Traders prefer highly liquid markets for easy entry and exit, but increased liquidity leads to increased competition and less profitable opportunities.
