Just use 1% of equity or less per trade if using leverage, if using leverage then simply use less of your own capital per trade and more of the brokers capital. There are various ways on when to take profit meaning both for swing trading and position trading, whether using leverage or not using leverage. There is also contango in which a guarantor is ready with cash on tap for the trader, and that by the way is the most profitable form of trading because the trader has more than sufficient amount of ready cash to feed his winning positions whilst devoting less cash for trades which are in the process of becoming profitable. It goes deeper than this but yeah,… the unique principles of the trader are what matter the most and depend on what he is comfortable in doing for his account. The guarantor just has to sit back, relax and watch his money growing exponentially from one level to the next higher level.
