Hi everyone,
i'm back at trading with a new strategy only on EURUSD, intradays and daily trading. I would like to get some feedback about a topic; i almost never place stop losses cause i don't want to be cut out from a support or a resistance for few pips. I'm doing quite well at getting getting the trend and when i don't the losing trades turns in profits (even if small ones) in max a week or whatever so i close them.
My account is < 1K € and i don't want to exceed 3% as money management per trade. How can i calculate the lot size if i dont' place stop losses? is there a kinda scale according to the accout dimension that can be used? What do you think in general? Thanks
PERSEVERANCE.

Using stop loss is necessary not only for risk management but also for money management. Aim at not risking more than 2% per trade even if you think you have enough capital.
Secondly, use a lot size trading calculator for help. Moreover,lot sizes do not depend on whether you are using stop loss or not. So it wouldn’t affect me.
