It also does wonders for our risk management Protect capital first - make money second - period Something to embrace - or not RN
In any research on the greats and in all interviews risk management is at the core for the ones that are consistent. I think ppl that break these rules are the ones chasing losses, what other reason is there. But in my own understanding of trading opportunities along with signals there are times when you can increase your risk. Times when the market is so directional that it is screaming at you "all in short or all in long"
