“Drive the Bus” is an analogy that I always refer to when I talk to fellow traders about managing entries and exits. In life and in trading, you want to be the one driving the bus. You don’t want to be the one getting driven, because when you get driven you have the propensity to get screwed. Screws get driven, you see.

​

So what the heck does that even mean? Well, in trading, you want to make sure that you are in as much control of a trade as you can be. While it is impossible to control the outcome of a trade, as a trader there are several things you can do to remain in a position of strength in a trade.
