Forex Risk Management Percentage to Calculate from?

I saw lots of professional traders say use risk management %. but i have doubt which value we should use for calculate it.

1. Calculate using equity
2. Calculate using balance
3. Calculate using deposited amount
4. Calculate using investment amount (Ex - I hope to invest $5K but i only deposit $500 due to safety money - so is that OK to calculate risk using $5K)

any ideas for this, i trade with weekly pivot so open only one trade per one currency pair per week and close trade on end of Friday.

In fact, the ability to perform calculations is one of the main skills that are necessary for any business representative. Because it depends on how you will act in a given situation, what exactly you can afford on the market at a given moment, what features of work you should apply on a permanent basis and what can be considered unjustified in your work. And even though it doesn't look good and simple, you should definitely work on what you can do to cope with it. Because this is what can ensure your confident and stable position in the market. And it will help you get a good profit and avoid some trouble.

It seems to me that today the problem with calculations is completely solved or almost completely due to the appearance of high-quality forex calculators, which allow to accurately calculate the size of the order, determine the required free margin and other features. And this is used in the work not only by beginners, but also by experienced professionals, because it allows to minimize the probability of error, as well as increases the overall speed of work, which can also be considered a positive change that can radically affect the success of a particular trader. So if you haven't encountered it yet - be sure to try it, especially since it is now freely available.
