Risk sizing on small accounts - any tips for progression?
I've been trying to figure out proper risk sizing on my micro account, say $500-$1000. It feels like anything meaningful is either too small to even track or too large given the leverage if I actually try to hit a reasonable R multiple. I see a lot of advice for bigger accounts but it doesn't seem to translate well to my current scale. For those of you who started small, how did you manage risk progression effectively without blowing up or just stagnating?

It's tough with a micro account. The math often doesn't scale down directly, leading to either insignificant gains or disproportionate risks. Focusing on consistent smaller wins and capital preservation until you can increase your account size might be a more realistic approach.
