He did something stupid. Everybody does in the beginning, that doesn't make you a bad trader. Not learning from it and not correcting your behaviour though, does.i saw a trainee lose 500 when his stop was 50 because he just didn't want to let go. and its not like he was screwed on a market order, he had an hour to get out. needless to say, he was gone that month. no discipline and no respect for the rules
