You’ll be needing something stronger than beer shortly (excuse the pun) to ease the pain of that DOW short you took out in October and added to since.
I own gold stocks also, but unlike you if I am stopped out of any today according to my risk management rules I will take self responsibility for my trading losses, quickly review the trade to see if their anything I can learn from it, and move on. That’s what experienced traders do.
Having a rigid position sizing and risk management system is vital to long term profitability. I welcome being stopped out of bad stock decisions I make because it saves me more psychological and financial loss down the track.
