5% risk per trade?

One can try their best to achieve that, at least. It's a matter of will and persistence.

persistence is the big deal about that , for that need patience and cool mind.

5% per trade is acceptable target (limit in case of stop loss). But it also depends on the frequency of your trades. For example if you make 4-5 trades per day, max daily loss is 20% of the balance at the start of a day. I think it will be a little bit difficult to recover after such loss.

1 % (max) loss per trade would be a good start in my opinion.

I think so too, especially if one is a newbie. Take as few risks as possible during that period.

5% risk per trade is not an issue if you have a good strategy. Even 10% is fine.

You'd need to have nerves of steel to go for 10%.

Not really. If strategy and MM are well thought out and disciplined, you can go for 10% easily.

using 1% to 2% is the laziest way to to define risk managment
cuz in my opinion you should put more effort to fix ur risk managment,u should take in consideration a lot of factors as your strategie accuracy ;risk/reward ;...
i remeber once a professional trader said somtimes you can use a high risk managment if the profite is pretty high and he gave an example of poker he said that somtimes you can risk all your money if the profite is 6 times bigger than what you have
im not saying that using 1% or 2% is a bad idea but you can do better than that if you cant then just stick in those numbers

Does everyone here trade using fixed stoploss? Or do you not set a stop-loss but exit the trade when certain conditions exist? I am just curious since everytime I set a stoploss, it will hit before going to the direction that I originally targeted, but when I don't set any stoploss, most of the time I end up losing a lot.

I really doubt everyone here trades with a fixed stoploss. A lot of people do, but whether it's even the majority is unclear without any kind of proper survey.

You don't need to use fixed stoploss but you should use fixed risk and adjust position size according to your stoploss.

That's true, I was simply answering to the question above.
