Why not just keep your risk % the same across the board?

if your acceptable total account risk is 2%, shouldnt it stay the same no matter what? It's all relative, just like poker. Just because the numbers change doesnt mean the risk does.

Changing your acceptable risk up and down depending on how much capital you have instead of what the charts justify sounds more like emotional trading to me.

Then again I haven't traded in the hundreds of thousands yet, so I'll update you when and if I get there

{quote} well if you have to open 1lot or some more lots and playing with 10-20-30-50 lots, and you have 10 and more trades opened....then you are hedging with options and trying to find the right one etc I guess its a difference, but you are right I didnt start with small account
I'm just stirring the pot

I wouldn't know what it's like to have a big account by forex means. Even my "Normal" stock account is under 50k usd. obviously my forex is under 1k.

{quote} Try measuring in R multiples and increasing/decreasing based on that. EG: 0.5% risk/trade until +10R achieved - then go up to 1%risk/trade Next +10R go up to 2% If you hit -5R go back down to previous level If you hit -5R at your lowest risk/trade go back to demo and trade that until you hit +10R then go back to 0.5% That's my strategy for trading a big (ish) account
this is one computation that sort of baffles me.. maybe i'm just not very intelligent..
i get 5 pips for 10 1:2 RR
when converting to %, it means risking $10 for $20??
then I have to translate that into position sizing depending on leverage and sizing then get another # of how many pips to risk??
but isnt that what i started out with? in the 5 for 10 example?
it is highly likely that i'm wrong... so dont follow me!

Your R:R per trade stays the same it's just a way of scaling your position sizing up and down with performance. Also for gradually upping your risk/trade based on performance if you're having trouble with the psychological aspect of trading a large live account.
Anything can happen.
