My "$1000 rule" goes for anything I buy whether it was intended
as a day trade or a position trade. I treat losses differently.
For position trades loses are a chance to get more stock cheaper
for daytrades I usually won't take more than a $300 loss.

Obviously I sold NMGC too early and trades like that used too bother me but selling too early is much less painful than holding too long. You can't lose money taking a profit.
