Percent risk and Profit



The other week I did a few TradeSim simulations on my system to see the relationship between risk and returns.


As the graphs show, from a pure profit perspective, 2.5% fixed percent risk per trade delivered the best results.


But if you want to consider the risk undertaken to make the return, as I do, then the system which position sized using 1.5% fixed percent risk per trade was on top.
