I have a small account in the low 4 figures, and in the past 2 weeks, I've been taking more risk, not only so I can grow my account, but also the time frames I trade on (1hr and 4hr) demand it.
MM is important, but so is beliveing in yourself, and the trades you take. I'm not a newb by any means. I have been trading for 4+ years now (not all in fx) so I'm not going to get scared, and sell out right before my trade rallies upward, but at the same time, the risk im taking is starting to hurt, because I'm being stopped out more. The trades I take ALWAYS have a nice R:R, but even with 1 mini lot theres not much more i can do.
