Losing 10% of a $1.000 account is no big deal, but losing 1M of a 10M account is a very big deal.
This is why pros don't take high risks.
I would never let my trading account grow to 10M.
But if I had 10M to trade with and lost 10% of it I'd still be very happy. 'Course, if its 1M of someone else's money, then that's a big deal.

On the professional side, most try to use close to zero delta strategies of diff. kinds and take very small risks % wise.
