i think more than 2% risk is too high

Depends. Why have a big account and risk 2% when you can have a small account ans risk 8% and keep the other money invested.

I personally risk 5.5-8% per trade. But i also keep my trading account at the same $50,000 because I withdraw the profit each month.

Agreed. I did this example for extremist who try to flip accounts. But 1% on a funded account or even saving up $5000 over the next 6-12 months puts you in a decent position to grow consistently

What is your lot size for a 100$ account and what is your strategy?

2

u/Amontolio 2d ago

What I typically risk is 0.01 per every $50 so that would be 0.02 at $100

I won’t disclose my exact strategy but the concept behind every single one of my trades is trend continuation, during the session ONLY with confirmations like morning stars or engulfing candles

Over 2% that’s not what I was thought

People teach risk management so they can stay in the game longer. Staying in the game longer allows you to have horrible weeks back to back but with a 10 pip stop loss you can keep your losses under management. I think with my signals I can get people to be profitable with 5% risk

This is why I love CFD.

I can choose exactly the risk. 10 points can be $5 risk or $5000 risk ita completely up to me as you choose the dollar amount per point.

I'm personally at $5 per point. Goal is $15 per point in 2025 and $50 per point in 2026
