no one can avoid the risk ratio but honestly speaking
by using most powerful analyzing risk management the percentage of risk can be reduced of course.

Just my strategy.

at beginning I set my desired max DD. Say 10%. Then my following steps are to minimize my risk of reaching 10% DD

First angle, I look at the frequency of trades I can actually handle. If I am trading something like 1 trade per day, then I risk only 1% per trade

why? Because say if I have 55% win, I can run into 7 losses in a row, but 10 in a row is quite rare. So I can expect to be -7% at one point. Which does not violate my max DD

Second angle, my strategy DD. I may have a buy-and-hold strategy which a trade basket, and from back/forward test I found at one point reaching 20% DD with 10 open trades at 1% risk. Then I would downsize my trades to 0.5%/ trade.

And when managing risk, I totally ignore the element of profit.

risk tolerance sometimes try very little. But, in the end, the profit results dropped. or the result changes completely just like the method will change completely

I think the risk should not be more than 2%. Taking more than 2% risk can put the account at risk.

0.25% to 2%. But 2% can be a bit too much sometimes. I only use it on really good-looking setups, and, you know, when I’m affected by emotion, lol. Do you guys think it’s better to have fixed risk percentages, or would it be better to vary them?

.5% to 1% depends on the setup and confirmations. but when into losing streak .35% until recovery, 1.25% when win streak until stopped.

Seeing 30–40% risk per trade mentioned—curious how you model losing streaks and variance; even high win-rate systems can hit clusters of losses. What risk-of-ruin assumptions are you using for that sizing?
