I would advise to watch the ENDGAME... the whole picture... what RETURN can you BRING for what kind of TOTAL exposure... not neccessarly per trade...
if you can make CERTAIN returns... exposure is almost not relevant anymore...
I have even done a survey.... if you can make 900% return... so x10 of the deposit..
people are preparing to 100% risk... so you can do whatever you want... watch like CAT.. for the proper opportunity.. throw money in, get x10.. or you can
do a marathon of n-trades....
Yeah surely if you divide the trades you can potentially preserve more if things go south in certain trade due to various reasons..
but what is important is the endgame... RETURN-DD is important... 5%risk per trade would apply for certain RETURN-DD funds..
number/parameter alone doesnt tell much... outside of "general wisdom".... that says 2% risk per trade is the limit...
some funds/institutions have prescribed parameters like those... at least in limits... but for individual...
the important thing is what COMPONENT of trading you either have or not.. PRICE/TREND prediction, risk management...
RISK per trade certantly wouldnt be the FIRST number I would take a look at... it starts with RETURN, proceed to DD, no of trades, volume, timeframe... series of wins/loses....

Can you afford to take that chance?
