Thanks to Ray for pulling up some of my earlier posts on the subject. I repeated some of the same before editing this post.

As far as which % is best, I am comfortable with 1.67% for most individual stocks, but drop it down to about 1% for S&P500. For something very volatile you'll move it above 2% I expect. For very low priced stocks you run into some wicked spreads of 5% which will cause some distortion, so you need to increase the box size to account for that.

I'm pretty comfortable with the approach.
