The percentage risk depends almost entirely on your position size and not your actual pip stop loss. You could have a 1000 pip stop loss while still risking 1%. Conversely, you can also have a 1 pip stop loss but still risk 50% of your account. Try out the position sizing calculator to know what I mean.
I suggest going for a broker that allows CUSTOM POSITION SIZES so you can manage your risk easily.
