Is it safe to use high leverage with a scalping trading strategy?

Professional scalpers that have been trading for quite some time now (usually about 2+ years) use leverage with their scalping strategy. Let's say you have a $10 position. A 1% profit without leverage is just $0.10, but with 100x leverage, it's a $10 profit - effectively doubling your position.

However, leverage should only be used by people who really know how to scalp. If your position starts going red, it's really better to just close it than to get margin called due to your leverage.
