Actually without proper money management even the best strategy would yield poor result. Money management begins with determining the lot size or allocation of capital to a trade. This is followed by assessment of risk to reward ratio and usage of stop loss and take profit facility. Unless and otherwise a trader is adept in all the criteria mentioned above, it would be very difficult to come out successfully in the long term. Very few traders are exceptional in money management and so they perform exceedingly well than others even when similar trading strategy is used.
To change your trading result, just change your thinking.

If you have a really good strategy - you would already include the stop loss and take profit facilities. 90% of those actual good strategies include those components. Again I think that money management is important, but consider the trading strategy to be the starting priority.
Accept the loss as experience

There is nobody who is able to reduce loss completely from this volatile trading place, but taking some major steps it can be reduced sometimes. If we can manage our risk when trading practically then it is possible to reduce loss form before. So, we have to emphasis on risk management policy besides acquiring good trading knowledge.

That's about as succinct and practical advice as it can get.
Also - always extensively test your strategies before implementing them on a live account.

backtesting is essential but I like to forward test on a demo as well for at least a month

Money Management is a strategy that may decide the trader’s longevity. Even if somebody is a good trader but poor management will result chaos in his trading. Money management is all about risk management and leverage. A person with 70% win rate,poor money management on the 20% can wipe out whereas 60% win rate is still better with sound money management plan. You can avoid revenge trading and high risk trades. Although risk is inevitable but don’t risk more than you can’t afford.

without capital management, how good your trading strategy is will only result in losses.

It doesn't matter what the strategy is, if you aren't using effective Risk Management then you are putting your investments at risk.

Risk Management should ALWAYS be the highest priority.


If it looks too good to be true, it's probably a scam! Let the buyer beware.
