I habe found that if you have too large a stop loss youlose big when you lose and if you don't have a large enought stop loss you lose more often. In any event I will make money some times and then lose it all back. What are the approreate stop losses when using 5k

No such thing. An appropriate stop depends on where you dont want to go. Stops that are larger than the wins work fine if you dont lose often, whereas stops that are small work well if your wins are consistantly larger. This is all a question of style. There is no such thing as an appropriate stop for using 5K.
Try concentrating on risk allowances and trading styles, timeframes, etc. Once you figure out what style of trading you prefer and the associated risks then you will have a better idea of the appropriate stops.
