Welcome. The first thing you shouldnt be asking is how much can I borrow BUT how much can I afford to repay, and being 19 years old Im guessing not a great deal?

Blogs,You have done really well but remember that a 400% gain comes with an increased risk. Diversifying your stock market investment rather than having 50k in one high risk speculative share would lower the risk.
