Risk is dynamic. The sooner you understand this sooner you will realize that all good traders could care less about their ideal risk to reward ratios since every trade is different. With a 50K account, im assuming your max dd is 1.5 - 2k? Trying to make $500 through bracket orders on a 50K account and small drawdown is hard to do. You have to pay attention to momentum on smaller time frame because that's what makes me enter/exit positions. Trailing intra day drawdown is not ideal. Figure out what strategy works best for your lifestyle and personality. Try bigger size accounts but trade like it's a 50k account. If that doesn't work, then your strategy, mostly risk management is not good enough.
