Really great reply GP. I read your response in full and took a lot from it, but in particular, your opening line was that “click” and ah-ha moment that shifted my perspective from making money to managing risk. This I see is the primary goal of the “job”, the retail trader. Apply this fact, along with good technical and high probability entries, the rest tends to take care of itself. Cheers for that!
Controlling risk is all a trader needs to become successful in forex market after he gets hold on to a good strategy.
