New here, question on position sizing for smaller accounts

Hey everyone, just joined. I've been paper trading for a bit and starting to put some real money in, but my account is pretty small. I keep reading about the 1-2% risk rule, and it makes sense, but sometimes that translates to such tiny position sizes for something like $EURUSD that commission eats up a good chunk of any small win. How do you guys manage that balance when you're just starting out and not working with a huge capital base?
