DislikedSmashing performance today for me overall I managed to gain 10%. First time I had a good day on a Monday lol.

The fact is u have a good enough strategy, and u are consistent which is crucial, and it appears that u are a good...Ignored
Disliked5% account equity is indeed a lot to risk, but stating it is overzealous with regards to what a professional trader would do is quite unfair. As sweeping statement as it may be, and maybe only generally applicable to traders, there are many times when a 'bet the bank' scenario has came up in my life, as with other successful traders near me.
