What risk percent should beginners use?
A small fixed risk is usually easier to manage. Many traders start around 0.25 percent to 1 percent while learning.
Is this exact for every broker?
No. Broker contract size, lot rules, tick value, and currency conversion can change the final order size.
Why journal position size?
Position size shows whether losses came from a setup problem or from taking too much risk.
