management begins before entry because stop placement, target selection, risk and management rules should already be defined before the trade opens.\n      <\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div style=\"border:1px solid #e1e7ec;border-radius:14px;padding:24px;\">\n      <h3 style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-size:21px;color:#0a2239;\">Should I manage every trade actively?<\/h3>\n      <p
