In my case I like to call it bankroll or capital investment, the problem is not losing $ 17k or $ 100, both can be difficult to recover for anyone, the problem is thinking that this could not happen ..... although that is not the main problem , the detail is not having the backing of money to start recovering.

I read you and it is like reading any player who makes a bet and thinks they are such a winner that they forget about the "safe bankroll", that is, if the probability is not 100% guaranteed, you are destined to that the percentage against you appear and lose, losing is the rule of risk in any type of investment, you should always have at least 10x of what you invest and the normal is 100x or more, you should never invest it all.

The positive is that you know how to start and if you did it once, there is no reason not to achieve it, but starting with $ 350 may not have the same achievement time, please do not repeat the same mistake.
