### Comment:
fair enough. I'm talking about people beating themselves up over money they could've made but didn't bc they exited. Entertaining thoughts like 'if I only held I would've made twice as much!' is a great way to get big losses down the line. I agree that you have to learn from losses. I started a trade journal with trade info, notes, and PNL so I can learn from my mistakes and keep my winning moves up.

### REPLY:
Totally agree. In my past, that thinking has led me to increasing bet sizes, which leads to losing one monster sized bet on an earnings play. Then I sit there wondering, “why the hell did I go so big on that one?” The answer: I was trying to chase some gains that I would have had if I had been perfect. But nobody trades perfectly. Expecting that of yourself is foolish. Make bet sizes that allow you to be totally wrong sometimes, and live to trade another day.
