DislikedHi, there are two common ways in trading. #1: big position in short time #2: small position in long time it depends on your choice, no need to agree or argueIgnored
If you consider a big position as 1.0% and a small position of 0.5% then
#1: big position in short time
On a $1000 balance risking 1.0% on 5 pips 8 times means a balance of $1407
#2: small position in long time
On a $1000 balance doing 0.5% on 40 pips once means a balance of $1200
Someone on here mentioned a return rate of about 82% so even if you lost two of the 5 you'd still have a balance of $1209
To put it another way, using #1 you only need 4 wins (20 pips) to get to $1215
