Keep in mind that your so-called "risk amount" has nothing to do with the market risk that you
incur when you open a position. So let's better call it what it is: your intended stop loss.
In case of disruptive events you can easily owe the equivalent of a car or a house to your bucket shop
with that approach. The CHF e.g. taught many people expensive lessons about the difference between
risk and intended stop loss.
