I go with .5% to give it plenty of equity on maxing out orders. Because I am running 3 pairs. Max draw down should be what ever the loss is on 5 open orders. (not much)
You can run 1% on 5k using 1 pair. I did with 3 pairs on demo to push the limmits. Worked out well for 3 months.

Might be good split between accounts.

In your settings 23-5-30 there is the Short or LongInitialStop=0, what do you mean by "... what ever the loss is on 5 open orders." Without the stop today my demo account was "destroyed" dramatically by USD/JPY. Do you use any Stop after 5th trade was opened?
