Convince Me Not To

Hi all,

Honestly, forgive me if this is the wrong sub, I've tried a few with no luck.

I entered this trade and it follows all of my rules for spotting and entry. The only thing is that it's risking 16.8% of my capital instead of my usual 1-2%. Emotionally speaking, I'm getting red flags since it's a significantly higher portion. Statistically speaking, after back testing and doing the required due dilligence, I am fine.

The capital really isn't that much and I could afford to lose 100% and not care outside of the trading environment. I just don't want to build bad habits and want an outside opinion.

Thanks!
