No percent - no stop loss
Your question is not correct. You should ask yourself, if I hit a stoploss how much % risk can I take. Because you can take in a big position but with a very small stoploss. Or you can take a position with very few contracts but with a big S/L.
The answer is that when you take in a postion you need to place a stoploss. That stoploss can never exceed a loss of 3% loss of your total account. So it is up to you to calaculate your contract size (when you enter a position) in such a way that in relation with your S/L that you stay under a 3% loss when your stoploss would be hit.
