Reduced my risk to 0.5% per trade - results changed a lot. Anyone else tried this?
Over the last few weeks, I reduced my risk per trade from around - 2% to 0.5%, and honestly it changed a lot for me.
Drawdowns feel much easier to handle
Less urge to overtrade
Better decision-making under pressure
With current market volatility (USD strength, news spikes), this approach feels more sustainable.
I’ve also been discussing these ideas daily with a small group of traders to improve together.
