Risk% for position traders?

Hey, I'm the crazy high risk professor

I have decided to get back into trading but I am not gonna do scalping this time.. It's not my style.

I am thinking about position trading but I have not done any reading about position trading before..

What kind of risk amount do position traders use? Because they hold trades so long time.. should I really just put 1-2% (standard size) on a trade that last maybe a month?

Shouldn't you risk higher amount the longer time you planning on holding the trade?
Swing trader?

I'm not sure how it works I have a confused grasp about this and therefore I have hard to make this question sound smart.

I'll try and explain my question better depending on what kind of replies I get.

I hold position in terms of weeks I never leverage more then 1:2, honestly i use 1:1 most of the time even if im absolutely sure this will be a winning trade.
When losing I never let losses go over 3% EVER.
Been doing this for a year, may change in the future.

Seems like you don't research your systems. If you haven't researched and are not willing to do that, then you can even only risk 0.1% of the account and will deplete your account in no time.

However, if you research your systems, then there is no need for this post, as you will know from your research how much you can risk.

By the way, what you call position trading is actually medium term trading.

Position trading refers to holding trades for years to decades.

I think stocks more suitable for longer time frame trades. But may be depend on your style.

1 to 2% risk on a trade for a month would be balance risk amount. But if you go for long time then you can increase risk ratio.
