No matter how experienced and proficient you become as a successful trader, you still need to have proper knowledge of risk management strategies. To make a profit from your business, you must develop a practical plan to properly manage difficult risks. Or you may lose your money. The market will knock you down. To sustain yourself in the trading business, you must patiently learn the basics of trading and, at the same time, make yourself more efficient through practice. You will make mistakes again and again because none of us are above mistakes. But we must learn from that mistake without being disappointed or impatient so that we can use that learning in the future. Always remember that trading without a solid risk management strategy is more prone to losses.
You are right. The biggest mistake that most traders make these days is they don't apply proper risk management techniques to their trading, and due to that, they incur losses, when that happens, they become disheartened and stop trading. That's not the right way to do things in this market or in any market.
The first thing we need to understand as traders are that we are all prone to losses, even those who have been in this business for years and have years of experience and vast knowledge about the market will have to face losses sometimes, but they don't step back because of that but they use those losses as opportunities to learn from their mistakes so that they can improve their skills.
As they say, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade with it. This simply means that when there are difficulties, you need to use those difficulties to have a positive outcome from it. The same thing applies for trading as well. Evaluate your mistakes, work on them, and come out on the other side as a better trader.
