I think that anyone starting out trading shouldn't risk more then 2% of there capital in a given trade. However as you get more experienced and build a cusion of profits I don't think it is unreasonable to take that a little higher. However if you experience a draw down should lower his risk per trade. For scalping I don't think anyone should risk 2% a trade, I risk about .25% - .5%. But if you play for larger moves and are in trades a longer time I would use the 2% rule and up it as you become more successful, and cut it back durring draw downs. For scalping I would use a 5% of capital cut as a daily loss limit. I would never want to exceed that.
My worst draw dawn pt. scalping over the last 3 years has been about $25K. Although in my first couple years trading I did some stupid stuff and had bigger losses then that in a day. I started out as more of an intra day position trader(first couple years) and evolved into a scalper. It suits my personality better.
