Used huge leverage and all available margin without a plan .. made some good gains , used heavy leverage and all available margin again , this time without a care in the world , suffered biig drawdawn & tried to revenge trade and claw it back , all this apart from many other silly mistakes live averaging down , praying for a reversal etc .. this was some time ago , now i know when to step away from the market , have made some mental adjustments , trade within my limit , worked out a basic money management plan and am learning TA and trying to make myself a proper system , i consider what i lost in the market as a kind of guru dakshina if u will , i now know what not to do , and that's worth the money , learn from your mistakes & earn by not repeating them , cheers all , happy trading
