You Don’t Have to Be Right — You Just Have to Not Be Wrong
Jack Carter | June 9, 2025
Hey Traders, Let me tell you something that applies to life and to trading: It’s a whole lot easier to avoid being 100% wrong than it is to try and be 100% right. Think about it… You don’t have to know the exact minute it’s going to start raining — you just carry an umbrella […]
