Have you considered taking profits of $1-3$ repeatedly throughout a trading session it might sound small for professional traders but it would go along way in growing an account most especially for beginners.
Keep in mind, you have to pay the fee for every trading session you make. It's a small fee but when the case is only $1 profit then you would not gotten $1 by at the end of your trading session if you do it continuously. It's a good practice to take a small profit and help you if you are a greedy person but I don't think it's applicable on every session.
