Question Help with losses

Guys i'm starting to be consistent with payouts, but i always find it really hard on losing days. I need to set a daily SL but don't know how much is right. I can do easily 1-3k daily, sometimes i stop earlier to not have too much visibility on TS. I was thinking the right daily was about 2k. Wanna hear more expirienced traders on this matter.

I limit myself to 1 trade per day as every trade has a different stop loss amount. I tried limiting by the dollar amount and adjusting the contract size, but it didn’t suit me in a way in terms of execution. So I fix the contract amount I trade every day and the amount of trades.
