Ya, I'm definitely too aggressive sometimes. That 1% rule is easy to say but hard to do when you see a potential setup. It's like, if I doubled my risk, I could double my profit if it works. But then if it goes wrong, I double my loss too. Gotta remember the big picture, though. One bad trade shouldn't wipe me out.

@BrandonThomas11 I totally get what you mean about wanting to be aggressive. It's so hard when you're starting out and you see that potential for a big win. I've been watching GBPUSD all week and honestly, I'm usually too scared to put more than a tiny bit on. Like, I bought it a few days ago thinking it was going to go up, and then it just kept dropping! Now I'm just hoping it doesn't go much lower. This 1% rule sounds really smart, but I think for me it's more about just getting over the fear of losing the little bit I put in. It's like, what if I put 1% on and it goes to my take profit? Then I'm like 'man, I should have put more!' but then if it goes to my stop loss, I'm glad I didn't risk more. It's a mind game, isn't it?
