The approach of using only 1% of your total capital as risk is very conservative, and that's fine at first. But the reality is that with that exposure and in m1, you're hardly going to see significant growth in your account without serious leverage. And if leverage comes into play, then emotional management has to be on a professional level. Because seeing a -0.3% on screen doesn't hurt... but seeing -901 on a real account can affect you more than you think.
