I always found this rule to be the most foolish rule of all.

If you have money you don’t need then why are you trading to make even more money.

It’s been mathematically proven that the most profitable RRR trades are between 1:1 - 1:2, with the sweet spot of 1:1.5. Any higher, set initially, is less profitable.

However, as a rule of thumb, letting winning trades run or increasing their positions without increasing risk by moving the S/L is a pro strategy used with high capital backing, not small accounts.

I agree with each point that you have mentioned. Frankly, a trader doesn’t understand the importance of these points until they face the losses. When you are learning the basics of the forex market, you must spend enough time on improving your risk management skills also because it is what can save you in the long run.

I concur with each situation that you have pointed out. But once you have analyzed risks, you can thoroughly figure out the potential enforces that each will have on consumer action, your company, and other current endeavors. In the best-case scenario, you can avoid risk influences altogether. But in renouncing all activity that carries risk, you also give up all associated potential return and convenience. It is up to you what type of risk action you want to game with.

I would say the same @Brackworm. It depends on what type of risks you take under what situation and position. Limiting your risks to the minimum while increasing your rewards is the best risk management strategy in my opinion.
