I have been keeping my losses much smaller than before but they are annoying to deal with. I am on my 3rd red day and it is getting annoying. Depending on how this week ends after reviewing, a good chance I will be going back to paper trading for 2-3 months so I can save some more money up as well. Trading with 1000 is way too restrictive and I ended up holding my losses longer trying not to waste BP. If I had 2 or 3 trades a day and only risking 3% of my position size, I would happily take a small loss rather than have my planning all go to waste because I have to cut losses. Tim even said you have to start with a realistic amount and even 2k is the absolute minimum.
