DislikedYes (Trading) is right.If you are new especially stick with 2 %. you can lose a crapload of trades and still have a decent balance on your account to get the winners.I learned the hard way a few times myself as have many others..If your trading strategy uses a 40 pip stop loss then maybe 1 %.if its a 20 pip stoploss then 2 %--just examples but you can do the math with your 2%Ignored
it took me about 2- 3 margin calls to learn back then LOL
