I was so focused on hitting a specific profit target that I lost sight of the big picture and ignored all that I was taught.

I'll eventually upload my Questrade trading history, but for some reason, I decided to start shorting stocks more and more without respecting any rules and I eventually bit me in the ass over and over again as losses accumulated to over $15,000. My confidence was shot, I lost my way and even though I know what the issue was, I wasn't sure of myself anymore and of trading. Luckily, I didn't give up. I took a step back, cleaned my act and have been on an upward path for the past 2 weeks.
