No, it means that if you lose, look at it like you paid for information that you can use, either in the next trade (you paid for information about the current market, like a poker player sometimes pays just to see the opponents cards for the info that gives them), or in your learning experience. Right, DT?
That is correct.

I think what they are saying is...if you have a losing trade, view
it as if you had paid someone that same money to teach you..

It's like on the job training


Learn from winning trades and losing trades
There are four type of trades

1. Breakout/Breakdown
2. Retracements
3. Reversals
4. Rangebound Fades

I like breakout/breakeven the most... don't get much much adrenalin that that, though retracements are interesting too.

You never know what kind of setup market will present to you, your objective should be to find an opportunity where risk-reward ratio is best
