Is Risk Management More Important Than Strategy?
100%, as Buffet says "There are two rules to making money: 1) Never lose money and 2) Never forget rule no.1"
I always aim for keeping the DD as low as possible.

But in reality, some traders believe that risk management is what really determines long-term success.
Things like position sizing, maximum drawdown control, and consistency might matter more than the strategy itself.
What do you think?Is risk management actually more important than the strategy?
Yes, yes, yes, or yes! It matters more than you think. I also thoguht with a proper strategy, I would never lose get blown accs again. But in reality, if you don't know how to manage your positions effectively, you'll never achive success.
Absolutely. A strategy creates opportunities, but risk management ensures you stay in the game. Even the best strategy can fail without proper position sizing and disciplined risk control. Long-term success comes from protecting capital first and letting consistency build results.
Once again, some one asking what is more important. I don't understand why everybody is so obsessed with comparing thing, and when you answer everything is important they just don't take it and say "NOOO, this answer is too general"
In my opinion, risk management is just as important, if not more important, than strategy. Even the best strategy can fail without proper risk control. Learning to protect your capital, manage emotions, and staying disciplined will makes the difference in the long run. Demitry Jenkins emphasizes not just trading signals, but also understanding market dynamics and managing risk effectively. He helped me see the importance of a structured approach to trading.

an example on why risk management is more importantTwo traders use the same strategy with a 55% win rate and 1:1 reward-to-risk. Both hit a 6-loss streak.
Same strategy, completely different outcome. Trader B might never recover from what he loss.
Both strategy and risk management are important, but strategy decides how much you can make, and risk management decides whether you’re still in the game to make it.
