I’ll start.

No one ever went broke taking profits.

This made me realize I haven’t heard a lot of trading quotes/ mantras! :smiley: Haha. :smiley: Not sure if it counts but I guess the first one that comes to mind is “Sometimes, not opening a trade is the best trade.” :blush:

Nice idea (your thread).

But it’d be quicker to just post links to, say, 95% of posts within. say, the last 24 hours (no need to go back further than that). LOL!!!.

Yup it’s Buy the F-ing Dip. I’ve been spending some time on Twitter and have been seeing that a lot. Sounds like the quickest way for people to hold on to losing trades if you ask me.

Buy low sell high

Cut your losses and let your winners ride

The entry is the most important part of the trade

The exit is the most important part of the trade
