I have figured out that people who are not professional traders and have families tend to hate risk more frequently. The reason behind it is the simple fact that they have a family to take care of and because of it they can't put money at risk, when you do take risks you are not doing it just for yourself but for your whole family as well and that is not really something you can afford to do when you have a family.
Well then why do you need to risk what is needed by you or your family? You don't trade to risk what isn't worth to lose especially when it is dedicated for something/someone like family.
Trading is not a gambling where you need to put a lot of money just to gain, trading is much more deeper than that. We have a saying right? Don't risk what you cannot afford to lose.
But when you are single and living alone and have extra cash sitting around, risking it is easier because you are the only person you are responsible for and if you end up losing it the only person you let down is yourself. Of course, when talking about professional traders that does this as a job, things change and even when you are a family man, you still take that risks since it is your job.
Trading does not depend on your status, trading is for everyone who wants to trade but you need the boundaries and limits while doing it. Just like what I said, you don't need to gamble the food on your table just to expect a profit, trading does not work that way. See how the professional works? They are setting the lowest and highest goals just by simply enough capital to make gains.
And also we have a thing so called - risk management, every trader should know about the entirety of this.
