Do you have target levels of profit? An equity usually trades within a range before giving some back on price. Try to target small gains within a trade. Don't get greedy and expect a $1000 trade every trade. You should set a low expectation. Maybe $50 and then work towards increasing position size to make it $100 bucks.
