[ Quote and Thoughts ]

From Sun Tzu's The Art of War:

"...Whoever is first in the field and awaits the coming of the enemy will be fresh for the fight; whoever is second in the field and has to hasten to battle will arrive exhausted...therefore the clever combatant imposes his will on the enemy, but does not allow the enemy's will to be imposed on him..."

One interpretation of this quote was:

"One mark of a great soldier is that he fight on his own terms or fights not at all."

The way I relate this to trading is that if I am looking to open a position in a stock, I will hesitate to acquire at any point unless my conditions for entry are met, and if I miss out on the window, I will most likely move on to the next opportunity rather than to extend myself by chasing up the missed issue.

Regards,

Rainier
