Dropping chain

Ok so I just went 1x10. I have rode around 10 times or so, so far I have dropped the chain 4 times. What could be causing my problem?

Race Face NW and X9 type2 rear der are new.

Two things to check.

1.  Make sure the chain is as short as possible.   
2.  Make sure the chainline is setup correctly.   

Thats all I got

Yeah... If you used your old chain and didn't shorten it that's probably the culprit....

I will shorten the chain (how much are we talking about) 2-3 links?

I have several 1X setups and I have always found this to work well. See the section called "CHAIN SIZING BY EQUATION"
