Winning streak -go up, losing streak - go down. If you are on a losing streak the main thing is to get your confidence back and your game back, not the money. If you are a good player, as soon as you get your game and confidence back, you will definitely make your money back, so don't worry about making it back right after some bad beats, since most likely you will be on tilt. Also introduce the opp's chipstack size as a major factor in your playing, it will reduce bad beats. When you know you have the best hand for sure, make the pots big, when you that there is a possibility that a hand can beat you and the opp is being ultra agg. check/call more than raising.
I don't think you should be playing outside your bankroll even if your winning or losing. If you lose 10 buyins and your bankroll drops sure move down. If you've won 10 buyins and your bankroll increases sure move up. But stay in your bankroll don't go out of it.
