You turn to the desk head and say "Boss, I just lost $16,000." and he says "Don't worry. It's happened before, it'll happen again."
That incident happened just a few weeks into my (short) career as a trader. I later learnt that everybody makes a mistake once in a while. It's unavoidable. It becomes a problem if you try to cover it up or if you keep making mistakes.
