Once you’re in a trade you are no longer a trader but a risk/money manager, this is where traders fail the most… manage the trade don’t let the trade manage you.

I would say that I simply have no free time aside from my job and family responsibilites to do something else about that matter anyway. Can we go on ? All fails simply comes along with that matter anyway. Where else it can be done ?

what you think any difference there is between risk and money management ?

The only difference is that we take the risk management following money management rule. However, both are same

Well for me, both go hand in hand. I don’t see them different from each other.

There’s not much difference, both aim at increasing the profits of the trader, by managing the risks and keeping capital safe.
