its down to the amount of risk you are willing to accept and the account size you have. As long as you can be consistently in the green with a risk level that doesn't drive you personally mad its fine. A lot of people cant do that, that's why you see a lot lower winning %'s. I think this is where the psychological component comes in big time.
russian roulette has a positive expected return, but has a standard deviation that could kill you
however, that doesn't seem to be an issue here- doubling an account that small is not difficult and probably isn't the result of taking excessive risk, rather than a function of a skewed distribution
being under capitalized; the rake and grind is more likely to be the cause of ruin
so, more than ever...
average time in market and ratio average win/average loss and average etd are the metrics you should be concerned with
improving those stats, is the only way you can grow an account that uses a system with a negative expectation
