Profit target is always 100 pips per trade and one trade lasted 3 months. In 2016, I have only 5 trades. SL varies in %, but always max of 11/12% of my account balance

I risk no more than 10/15 % per trade
That is quite a lot. Aren’t you worried about spikes and whipsaws? Do you scalp?

11/12% of your account. That is madness. You may make some good pips for a few months but when the market turns your account will just collapse.

I learned that you can risk less that 5% and no more that 10% if you are really aggressive trader

I like to add that the risk can be varying from trade to trade even if your position size and your SL stays the same - I'm talking about using an emergency SL instead of a set and forget one. I'm curious to know if those traders who mention some rather high risk per trade are in fact closing many losing trades before their SL is hit. I'm doing that too btw. I'm short term with my emergency SL usually at -10 pips which equals to approx. 5% of my account. Almost all losing trades are closed earlier and I end up with a loss I can very easy recover from in future trades.

I usually stay between the 2-5% range. 5% is extremely rare, I'm not looking to be a millionaire overnight.

I risk 10%-25% per trade depends on what I think the probability of success of my strategy will occur in a certain trading environment.

I am comfortable with risking 1% of my Equity per trade to a Maximum of 5 trades/5% at any one time. This works for me.

I agree. I too prefer more cautious trading – yes, if you risk more money you will have a bigger profit, if your analysis is correct, but that is a very big if.

Depends..I go with 2-5%. Higher percentages add a lot of stress. people risking 10+ on a regular basis will probably do a lot of damage to their accounts.
Also depends if you scale in on your positions or not.

I know I’d be doing damage to my health out of sheer stress too, if I were trading like that on a regular basis.
