30%

me too

it depends also on the account size

if you have balance by millions then the 30% DD is never acceptable

but when you have 100 or 1000 then 30 percent is nice

but not more

1% to 5% risk per trade is conservative. Get your SL first and than calculate your position size.
 
My account size is 10K euros, so i am comfortable with 20% drawdonw
 
I got 4 accounts, one is high risk I dont care to loose it. 4 others conservative.
 
Something about a sub 5% drawdown makes me feel good, like shooting a bullseye. On the other hand getting sloppy on an account and running a 40% drawdown makes generating returns so easy, like an all you can eat buffett.
 
I think the experts with drawdown> 10% will lose in the long run
 
5-10%
 
< 1%
 
10-20% is good and it will not affect your decision or lead to re-thinking about your deals.
