Losing is part of trading, accept to become a GREAT loser, because it's all about it, being a great loser maintains your loss low and let your win go. I can accept to close a loser and eventually buy lower (or sell higher) if market proved me wrong, AND if i get the signals needed for an entry.
Perhaps you could
1. Note your average day eg. +$250
2. Your big winning day e.g. $750
Look to limit the day following a big win to your average day $250.
Before entering a trade look at the $250/ pts = 5pt stop (ES example)
Enter a horizontal line on your chart at the 5 pt stop.
Enter a horizontal line on your chart at your target.
Ask yourself :
"are the odds of the trade traveling to my target better than traveling to my stop?"
If yes take the trade
If not stand aside.
If stand aside - then repeat process waiting for a good setup

If you take the trade and win repeat the horizontal line questioning process (not increasing the stop e.g. 5 pts).
