It is my belief that many beginner or not so experienced Forex traders focus so much on the trading method or system they use, that they completely forget about the most important ingredient of successful trading… managing risk! They focus so much on trade ENTRIES or SET UPS that they completely forget to plan out what to do once the trade is placed. And usually the results are disastrous.
As a trader, you need to plan out what you are going to do AFTER the trade is placed to reduce risk, or eliminate risk all together.
