You're not going to get anywhere risking 1%/trade at retail unless you're legit trend-following at a low hit-rate. You're better off position trading or passive index.
So far I'm doing better than passive index. Not sure what you mean by legit trend following at a low hit rate. I'm not making 100% per year and can live very comfortably with 20%. I'm not compounding as I fund my lifestyle with what I make.
