The fixed-fractional model professionals use: choose how much of the account a losing trade may cost, and let the stop distance determine the size.

Position size = (account × risk %) ÷ stop distance %. A $10,000 account risking 1% with a 4% stop takes $100 ÷ 0.04 = $2,500 of notional. Tighter stops allow bigger positions at the same risk.
The professional standard is 0.5–2% per trade — sized so an ordinary losing streak produces a recoverable drawdown. Ten straight 1% losses draw down ~9.6%; ten straight 5% losses draw down ~40%.
Not by itself. Risk = size × stop distance; leverage only sets how much margin you post for that size. Leverage becomes dangerous when it pushes size beyond your risk budget or liquidation inside your stop.
Stops are unreliable in assets that gap violently, so size those positions as if the entire amount is the risk — the position itself should fit inside your per-trade risk budget.
