Risk is not as simple as always risking 1-3% depending on the setup. People don't consider external factors into their risk calculation. (You'd be surprised how many people are still using the same account risk despite these conditions) Risk needs to be more dynamic. Is it a heavy headline day? Decrease risk. Are conditions choppy? Decrease risk. Are conditions easy? Increase risk. If your risk hasn't changed in the last few months, that's worth looking into.
