First lesson of trading given by a stranger

Today, I had my very first online lesson of trading.
And my tutor is a gentleman from Dukascopy community.
I don’t know why there is such a nice person on the earth who are willing to spend so much many time on a never-met girl.
The point is he is not even asking for any returns or benefits, but just want to make friends.
Normally, we, as human beings, do thing depend upon its value of return.

I am still holding my n…

Some inspiring and educational quotes by Jesse Livermore (from Reminiscences of a Stock Operator)

from making as much money as you ought to. The successful trader has to
fight these two deep-seated instincts. He has to reverse what you might
call his natural impulses. Instead of hoping he must fear; instead of
fearing he must hope. He must fear that h…
