The biggest differentiation between “market risk” and “trader risk” is how they can be controlled. Market risk is uncontrollable – I am at the mercy of the markets. Trader risk is controllable, as I can react to the market however I choose.

Understanding risk and how to tackle it becomes an art in this market after a point. Not everyone is smart enough to time their trades properly or follow a plan towards generating profit. By applying the correct risk control techniques at the right time, traders can definitely win. For this, understanding market sentiment and psychology is most important.

Yes I agree, risk management is very important but having an logical mindset to set some boundaries for limiting losses is also very crucial as it will always keep oneself safe from unnecessary risks.
