its very hard to answer directly like that as I dont keep all my capital in one trading account and just put in more when I need it, but my stakes are generally quite consistent and a large trade is probably be about 20% of my account balance but as I said its not a true reflection as I have no intention of leaving too much excess capitol in my trading accounts. I use 2 accounts to get better spreads. What your are doing with the 2% is fine. When I enter I generally have a 30 pip stop so know the stakes can be consistent.
I do sometimes increase after a loss as i believe I have the edge so increasing after a loss will only increase the advantage I have as Im sure to bag a winner sooner rather than later. If I have 3 full x 2 losers then things get costly and run into the 1000s and that happens every couple of months,but a couple of winners and Im back on track. ive gone off on one a bit,but hope what Ive said makes sense. Money management is what changed things for me.
