A trader is a risk manager. His / Her job is to protect capital and manage the trading risks. In trading, losses are part of business and thus is a cost of doing business. A business will always have revenues and costs, but as long as the revenue is larger than the cost, then at the end of the day it is still profitable. Trading result depends on a long term series of trades, not a trade by trade basis. New traders ignore risk management due to the unwillingness to take losses, as well as hoping that things get better or positions go back to break even.
