What should be the risk percentage?
Jan 12, 2021 at 12:41
Actually risk percentage depends on many factors. How much you can tolerate is a factor. It also associated with your winning ratio. A trading strategy is a combination of all factors according to your skills, capital, risk tolerance power. You have to make a system so that you can survive in the market and make profit.

Agreed but that being said a rule of thumb for beginners is 1-2% regardless of RR per trade. How many trades are placed at once is another question. Personally no more than 3 at a time
If you can't spot the liquidity then you are the liquidity.

I don't think you should risk more than 2% for a trade. If you risk more than 2%, it will never be under the management of money management.
Yes, exactly the advice which I was also thinking of. We should not adopt the risk over 2% to keep our trade safe.

I agree with you. I never risk more than 1-2% to be on the safer side in my trades.

Traders should not take more than 5% risk per trade. That’s why traders can survive in the market long.

Actually, every trader decides by himself, what risk percentage to set. The genral rules sound like never open a position with more than 2-3% from your total deposit. However, traders don't often comply with this rule. Every trader wants to get as much money as he can, so he decides to open a position with 10-20% or the whole amount of deposit. It's prohibited, in case you want to build long-lasting trading career. Nevertheless, there are some traders who can open position with a half or the full of the deposit, but they're professionals and often they know what to do.

Really does depend on your own risk tolerance. Personally I only risk 1-2% on a single trade. Maybe 3% if it's something I'm extremely confident about.

1-3% is ideal as according to probabilities in 10000 trades you will have a run of 13 straight losers. Now that may seem like a lot of trades but if you're in this for the long haul you'll hit that and also there is no way to determine when they will come so could come at the beginning of your career

To be able to manage the risk properly, maximum loss allowable per trade should be no more than 3%. Some traders also believe that 5% is a good percentage to risk but I don’t think it’s wise to go with this percentage. Traders often forget that risk to reward is to predict the expected returns and mitigating the losses and not for increasing the risk potential.

Well, I believe that risk percentage varies in dependance on your personal goals. If you want to make fast money (however it's impossible lol) you can risk up to 30% of your initial deposit. Rememebr that the more risks you take on yourself, the more potential losses you can have. Of course, nobody assures you that you will lose money, but there is a risk to lose everything and nobody is protected from this.
It would be better to comply with traditional risk management practice, never open a position with a sum which you're not ready to lose. If you ready to lose 5$, then open a position with this sum.

30% risk is insane. Thats basically 3 trades and your account is bust. Not sustainable. You arent giving the law of probabilities to work out even if you have a solid edge there is a strong possibility you will lose 3 in a row and youre account will be gone and wont be able to recover

Everything depends on your personal tradits and goals in trading activity, for example, if you prefer risk-free trading and you would better appeal to the conservative mehtods of trading, then of course, you can open position with risk/reward ratio like 1:3. It's the best option for those ones who want to stay in trading for a very long time. However, if you understand that you don't wnat to turn trading activity into a monotonous one, then you have to edit this risk ratio, basing on how you perceive taking risks. I believe that the most crazy ratio is 0.5:3. It's cool, but it brings plenty of risks, as well as 4:8 for example.
