@AsafRub My risk depends on a few things 1) Position size: When I enter a position, my risk will depend on how many shares I take out. If lets say something is trading at $1 and there is support at $0.95. I'll take out what I'm willing to risk based off that $0.05 so if I take 1000 shares, I'm risking $50 which is ok.

@AsafRub If my account is at $5000 I'm willing to risk $250 etc, I try not to lose more than 5% on any given trade. 3) Support level: If there is more than $0.05 of downside..(example. the price is at $1 and the support is at $0.80 or $0.20 of downside. I may take a smaller position like 300 or 400 shares...that way if I lose, I only lose $60 instead of $200-$400 if i had 1000 or 2000 shares. I hope that helps
