Risk Management
You can be wrong half the time and still win. You cannot be wrong once, with everything on the line.
In plain English
The habits and rules that limit how much you can lose, so you can stay in the game long enough to get good.
Risk management is the part of trading that protects you from yourself and from the market. It covers how much you risk per trade, where your stop-loss goes, how big your position is, how much leverage you use, and when you stop trading for the day.
Great entries make headlines; risk management keeps accounts alive. Plenty of traders with average strategies survive because they control losses, and plenty with clever strategies blow up because they do not.
