Sounds a bit high to me. Most traders were talking about 2% of account size to risk per trade, and that is conservative, but probably good if your prime objective is capital preservation.

If you are trading with risk capital, and wish to take advantage of the decent returns possible, especially with a proven methodology, then it is my humble opinion that we could try 5% of risk capital size per trade.

What do you all think, please?
