Moreover, they will also decrease the quality of trading. Your trading mind will try to manage profits anyhow from the markets. For almost any market condition, you will like to place a trade.

    All aspects of trading process you`ve mentioned are important for tradres.
    Proper risk management allows trader to reduce risk ant prevent unexpected losses. In fact, many traders fail just due to the wrong approach to risk management: the expose their accounts to the risk higher than they could afford. That is why it is so important to pay enough attention to such details as risk per trade and position size calculation. For exmple, it is better to calculate position size and stop level each time making a trade instead of using fixed stop size since it would give more flexibility that could be very important during high volatility period. By the way, traders quite often forget that volatility could change, so they will have to make changes to their strategy to keep it profitable.

    Sizing is very complicated technic even for experienced traders. Wrong sizing could lead to huge losses. The main sizing rule is that each part of the position should be opened and closed as independent position. Thus, it would be necessaryto find proper entry points to add to the position.

    As it was mentioned before, each trader should focus on consistency first. The result of one particular trade is not so important as the final result of a week or a month. That is why the main goal should be to become a consistently profitable trader rather than just to get huge profit.

    When people see the term "traders" they automatically think high risk gamblers but this is not necessarily the case. Successful traders will know when to take a calculated risk, use downside protection and never overstreth themselves. Run your winners and cut your losers.
