How do professional traders manage risk when using high leverage?

[chainsniff]

Pros treat leverage as a position-sizing tool, not a profit amplifier. They size positions based on volatility-adjusted risk (ATR-based stops), maintain pre-defined max drawdown rules, and often hedge directional exposure using futures or options. Adaptive leverage — increasing only when win-rate and volatility align — is standard.
