it depends on how much you are trying to gain on a daily basis.
the more money you have, the bigger trades you can execute without putting your money at risk.
i only enter a trade with a small % of my total account value...
i have plenty of room to cost average down without risking getting margin called..
i make less than i could if i was willing to risk more of my account value, but i would rather make less and be able to handle a large swing against me..
