need to know your current situation actually .. if we have a large amount and we lose $ 1k from trading then it can be recovered easily by capturing simple trends with high risk volumes but yes if we have small amounts left then we should not be able to take all kinds of risks and ... slowly grow equity with long trades and never exceed 10% of the margin used no matter how confident you are in your trade, slow and steady you will recover all your losses and be in net income I will concentrate on the amount trade investment first and find out what I did wrong in the market.
