    Risk management is far more significant than return. One of the main lessons that I've ever learned.

    Do the mathematics. Your SL is 50 pips. Trading one full lot is $10/pip (on xxxUSD pairs). So your risk 50 x 10 = $500 per transaction. If your first two trades are losses you will have blown your entire account.

    My guideline is 1 lot per $25k account size. To get a 50 pip SL, that works out at approximately 2% risk per transaction.

    I would say at most 1 percent per trade.

    Should 1% be the trade dimensions, or should I count just stop loss. If I've stop loss I'll lose 1% of my total account balance?

    Stop loss: 50 pips.

    Take profit: 100 pips.

    Profit Factor: 5.5

    Currency pairs: GBPUSD and EURUSD

    2-3 transactions Every Day.

    Leverage: 1:100

    Trade duration London and New York sessions.

    Thanks for advices.
    2 percent,i.e ,$20 risk per transaction split to a s/l.
    50 pip s/l equals $0.40 per pip.

    You should begin with the lowest risk amount which will allow you to scale out of a position. You ought to start off trading with R $10, which will often allow you to scale out of your position with at least 1/2 of your own position.

    In case you cannot be always be profitable with R $10 then you won't be profitable at bigger lot sizes. Make some consistent gains at the level, then return for more advice from the Forex traders here. Do not burn your account trading anything bigger than you can manage.
