Don’t look down on the trader who has blown up an account. Look at them as a fierce competitor. Their knowledge is in the form of scars. Their experience of what not to do is invaluable. I think that made Livermore a true speculator. Fortunes won and lost but he is always in the game learning to be his best.

Exactly. What impressed me most was his resilience, and also his self-awareness, especially how he analyzed his mistakes without ego.
