about 2 weeks ago from this very day, I lost 600 dollars in the stock market. first, I lost 50, then I lost 100, then I lost 400, all by increasing the amount of shares I trade exponentially. I made the mistake of increasing the share size so I could make up for the loss prior.

I've been making money steadily since then. phew, if I had lost 200 dollars more, I would have blown up my account. I will never increase my share size without prior belief that it's time for me to increase share size (which will only happen if I have a month of solid gains)
