How much do you think a swing trading account should have?

I've swing traded for over 3 years and have grown my account to 64k. My total contributions is around 32k over the three years. and have doubled my account over this time. Happy with my progress but also know this period has been a bull market which I've benefited from.

I'm hesitant to continue trading with the entire size as I feel I'll take more focused trades with a smaller account. Thinking around 20k would be enough.

My risk management is fair as I risk around 2-4% per trade, and follow my setups win or loss. I aim for anywhere from 1.5r and up and manage depending on the position using trailing stops to manage the risk and market outlook.

Just wanted to hear thoughts and perspectives from people in the community.
