Almost everybody is familiar with Muhammad Ali. He is known as one of the greatest, if not the greatest boxer ever. And while he was well known for his boxing skills, he was equally famous for his proud and showy behavior ("I am the greatest!"). His behavior proved to be definitely effective in boxing since it boosted his own confidence while at the same intimidated his opponents. But if Ali was a forex trader, he probably would've been knocked out quickly and had his wallet emptied...by the market.

As a trader, you have to learn how to be humble when trading the market.

When you become successful you feel invulnerable... until the market quickly puts you back into your place.

The best trade sometimes is the one not taken. The best thing to do sometimes is too walk away. Always be humble, no matter if you are running a $1,000 micro or a million dollar standard account.

The market will take your money equally, it does not discriminate.

Always treat the market with respect. If you respect and listen to the market, it will give you the answers that you seek.

It is only you and the market. No matter what you think or what happens, the market is always right!

Only you can be wrong. Learn humility and be humble, respect and listen to the market and iou will become a successful trader.

Never let success get to your head because the market will punish you for your arrogance. Always be thankful for the lessons the market teaches you, no matter what the price is.
