I keep a stack of poker chips on my desk. This reminds me that trading, like poker, is a game of probabilities. Not certainties. Just like in poker, you can’t control the cards you’re dealt or the market’s next move. But you can control how you play your hand. In both games, there are A, B, and C setups. The strength of your setup determines how much you risk, and if it's a "hand" worth playing. The beauty of trading is that we can “fold” bad setups and only play our “pocket aces” or “AK.” Even then, we have no way of knowing what the flop—or the next candle—will bring. But we don’t need to know. With enough well-placed bets on strong setups, the probabilities play out in your favor over time. 🕰 And just like in poker, survival comes down to two things: emotional discipline and risk management. If you let emotions dictate your moves or you risk too much (or too little) on your setups, you won’t last long enough for the math to work in your favor. So don’t be afraid to size up on a high-quality setup—but always protect your stack. In the end, it’s not the player who wins every hand that succeeds, but the one who plays the right hands, risks wisely, and stays in the game long enough for probability to do its job.
