"Every battle is won before it is fought."

Sun Tzu

Why It Matters:

A timeless quote from the original risk manager. In trading, the battle isn’t when you click “Buy” or “Sell”—it’s everything before that: your setup, your plan, your stops, your sizing. If you’re figuring things out mid-trade, you’re not trading—you’re gambling in a lab coat. Pros do their thinking with a calm mind, not a racing pulse. Prep is profit. Execution is just pressing the button.
