DislikedI believe it's all bs when people say you HAVE TO trade just 1 to 5% per trade to be successful, if you have a strategy that is highly accurate and you're in control of your trades it makes sense to use more capital.Ignored
Disliked{quote} Whatever the accuracy it is; 5% is always dangerous! That means; consistent 3 SL brings you 15% loss!Ignored
Disliked{quote} In this case; I think closing a trade before the TP or SL isn’t a good habit at all!Ignored
DislikedI think the lower your risk level, the better (1% or less)! If you have a good system and an edge, why not give it every opportunity to succeed and paly out??Ignored
Disliked{quote} 1% risk ratio is more appropriate for the traders who are particularly beginners , but as a newcomer due to poor knowledge its much difficult to maintain same risk ratio. so, i dont believe under 5% risk ratio , because every faction is volatile in this stock market.Ignored
DislikedThats what they say you can trade but honestly if you do your graphing work and your confident I would go for a bigger lot size. You aren't gonna m are money for real only risking 5%, in my opinion.Ignored
DislikedIf you risk 5% it will take approx 100 consecutive trading losses to lose most of your capital If you risk 2% it will take approx 250 consecutive losing trades to do the same In the end if you are crap at trading or your strategy is flawed, risking 1-2% per trade wont make you profitable....it will only delay the inevitable. The only benefit 2% risk does is the mental comfort it gives you in knowing I have more margin for error in my trading.....which is not always a good thing.Ignored

DislikedIf a strategy is atleast 75% accurate I can see 5% risk not much of a deal but money management still would be important in the long term. To build up the account in the short term maybe not. But if you have a $100,000 balance and risking $5000 per trade than it's not so easy to pull the trigger which is why it's smart to stick to 1% atleast with a big balance.Ignored
