Well you said it yourself you should have an idea of where the price is going to go. Also what do you mean then by exploiting the unexpected price change. How do you do that.

Ok assuming i can use risk management, how do i get an idea of where the price is headed. How can people predict where the price is going to stop. Yes, risk management is necessary but I dont want to rely just on Risk management in making money.
