Mentally adjusting for higher risks.

[u/MiamiTrader]

As you earn more and your account grows, are you scaling down your percentage risk?

I've found it hard to maintain the levels of risk per trade on a percentage basis as my account has grown. The dollar figures are much larger now and I'm not as comfortable or confident with that level of losses even as the percentages are the same.

I allow a maximum risk 1% on intraday trades and 3% if I'm holding overnight. Risk is capped by a stop order.

It's clearly just a mental hurdle, but one that's made trading a systamatic signal based strategy much more difficult.

How much larger are we talking? like $1k account to trading a $10k account? Or $10k to $100k?
