Professional traders rarely risk more than 1-2% of their account on a single trade.
Always aim for at least 2x your risk as your target. This means you can be profitable even with a 40% win rate.
The stop loss should only be moved to break even after price moves in your favour — never widened.
If you hit 5% drawdown, reduce position size by 50% until you recover.
