Another Trader_Dante quote thread: 10 of his best lines on trading, losing, and not quitting

The Kinfo forex community continues to grow.

So we thought it about time we did another Trader_Dante (https://x.com/Trader\_Dante) quote thread!

No fluff. No sugar coating. Just Dante telling it straight. 10 of his best lines on trading, losing, and not quitting 🧵👇

🧵1/10 : "Successful trading is like getting pregnant. Everyone congratulates you on it but no one asks you how many times you got fucked first." (Feb 2015)

🧵2/10 : "If Peter Andre made $15M from binary trading I will saw my dick off and eat it live on Periscope.” (reacting to a LinkedIn post claiming Peter Andre was a binary options trader)

🧵3/10 : "FUCK YOUR LAMBO” (quote-tweeting a Reuters story about an ex-commodities trader flying around in a £340k jet suit)

🧵4/10 : "Why do you insist on fucking selling when the market is red? You buy on red. You sell on green." (a prop-floor mentor's line he still quotes)

🧵5/10 : "Fuck fear. Fear breeds losses.” (classic Dante talk!)

🧵6/10 : "Watch a YouTube video of a 19-year-old trader at the wheel of a Lamborghini. Send him a message to ask how you too can start making money. Receive a link to a highly reputable broker — a paragon of financial excellence. Based in Cambodia."

🧵7/10 : "So many motivational quotes online. I don't know about you guys but a motivational quote never motivated me to do anything." (Jul 2018 on motivation speak)

🧵8/10 : "My wife accused me of being addicted to trading. I agreed our relationship was getting choppy but I was convinced we could break out of it. So I asked her for another go with a clear target of where we wanted to be and a stop incase it didn't work." (Jan 2024)

🧵9/10 : "It took me 7 years to get profitable so I suppose I'm an example of 'don't quit.' But I fucked around for years and didn't take it seriously. If someone truly applies themselves for a few years and doesn't make it, I see no harm in quitting and trying something else."

🧵10/10 : "I'm tired of arguing the point now. If you're up 100 pips, with a stop at breakeven and you get stopped out, you haven't broken even. You've lost 100 pips. Either you see it or you don't. But facts are facts." (Feb 2019 on unrealized gains)
