I did not panic really, but I realised that as my account grew, my risk startegies did not evolve. I started my trading portfolio with 40K last March, and then bought 100 shares at a time. I could stomach a 10-20 point drop by just holding the stock ! Now, when I was trading 10-50 calls, the risk strategies should have changed, the stop losses should have been much much tighter. I just continued the old way. When DELL, CSCO and TMCS dropped together, I just held on !

Now of course, I think I'm much more wiser, but sometimes I do revert back to the old style !
