As I said in the article, it's just simple maths. I even baulk when people give advice of "risk 2-5% of your capital on each trade". If you even had a 1:1 risk reward and were making 2% of your capital on each trade, maybe 20 - 30 trades a day, you could probably retire in a few months...

I'd need to work it out, but I only risk around 0.25% of my capital per day, total. And that could be spread over 10 trades. 5% per trade ? hmmmm.....
