How much of your total capital do you risk?

Hi All,

I am just curious as to how much do you risk on you open positions all at once? Do you follow a rule of staying 75% invested and 25% cash or 50% invested and 50% cash? I am just looking for some guidelines to follow. The highest I have ever invested into open positions is 48% of my capital. My problem? I think that I leave too much aside in cash that could be otherwise working. I would like to hear some feedback about how some of you handle this.

Thanks,
Steven
