Risk & Sizing

Do you consider the mathematics of drawdown when using high leverage?

Yes. A 10% loss requires an 11% gain just to break even. Risk management is always the number-one objective and should be above everything else in trading. My entry tactics may change over time because the market keeps changing, but I don't think risk management will change. I'll continue setting stops before the entry and defining my risk before entering a trade, whether I remain a trader, become an investor, or become a scalper. The style, entries, and selling could change a lot, but defining risk and protecting capital should remain constant.
