Jacob, just make sure you don't overtrade and risk too much that can cripple your account. Risking 2% a trade is okay... but what if you lose 10 trades in a row? That is 20% loss of your capital.

Now you will need to make 25% of your capital to break even. Make sure you have reliable setups. Good luck
