Nuevo aquí, curioso sobre el tamaño del riesgo para traders nuevos

The 1-2% rule isn't abstract; it's a hard limit. If your account is too small for that to feel meaningful, you either need more capital or you're trading too large of a lot size for your current funds. Trading micro lots is usually the only option for smaller accounts if you want to stick to those risk parameters.

Welcome! That 1-2% rule can certainly feel like a philosophical exercise when you're starting with, say, enough capital to buy a decent used bicycle. Most of us probably started by ignoring it completely until we learned some very expensive lessons. The trick is finding a balance where a loss stings, but doesn't make you question your life choices.

The 1-2% rule can be tricky with a small account since it often leads to very small lot sizes that make trade management difficult. Perhaps focusing on a fixed dollar amount risk per trade, adjusted as your account grows, might be more practical for now.

The 1-2% rule can definitely feel limiting with smaller accounts, especially if you're trying to achieve any meaningful returns. Have you considered adjusting the per-trade risk based on your overall conviction, rather than a flat percentage?
