This brings up a lot of thoughts and ideas.
On this site I took 1700 real money to 10k. I documented every bit of it and posted actual account statements. Guess what.. I may have gotten lucky or caught a good run because I quickly took it back to zero in a few weeks.
1. We don't really know how much time and effort you have put forth.
2. If you are really being honest you would include some records of trading days or weeks and ask what looks wrong or correct.
3. Way too many unknowns for anyone to comment on what you should do but if I take your post at face value as if it is true then I will give you an answer. An honest answer. Stop trading now!
Stop trading and salvage what you have left of your life to make a career
You never stayed you have an income producing job or a trust fund and that trading is just a hobby etc. So
Stop wasting your time and money.
My credentials are that I am profitable by hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars everyday by noon. That's fact. The other fact is that I tend to do so well so often that I lose sight of taking losses and quite frequently give all of it back and then some but there has not been a day in the last 300 that I trades that at some point usually early on that I am not met positive by a couple hundred dollars.
And I still struggle everyday and cumulatively I am still a net loser due to fees commissions expenses and not trading properly at ALL times.
People fail to realize that the sequence of trading success goes much like this
1. Gather information and make a trade plan
2. Trade demo
back test watch charts videos etc. Do well demo trading
3. Open 1st account. Do ok then blow out all monies quickly
4. Back to drawing board study indicators study new ideas ..realize the weak link is just
Psychology etc.
5. Open another account. Do much better making proper decisions and following rules.
6. Eventually and more slowly this account loses money
7. You again study etc formulate but this time you have COMFORT making trades.
You get in and out easily follow rules and systems and do well sometimes and very well sometimes but somehow there are a couple days where you give back a week or a month of gains. You have learned how to make money everyday but that doesnt mean you learned how to keep it!
8. At this point many must give up. Due to financial constraint and family or need to find a job that pays you for your time.
9. If you continue trading you realize it's about preserving capital and not making money!
10. You trade only at specific
points andany days will stop and enjoy life instead of the screens understanding that the mkts always there but you won't be!
11. You make consistent money again and decide to size up bigger and then it happens
You lose and you lose big again. As soon as you get big you lose all over again.
12. Maybe you decide that making 1000 to 3000 a day is just wonderful from home and done by noon! This is exactly what I learned. You don't need to be buffet or someone who makes a million or 2. You can have a great life making 150 to 250k from home in your underwear and be done by noon. You stop giving back the easy trade money in the afternoons ! Make it early and make it quickly and be done until tomorrow.
I took 1700 on this site to 10k in 3 weeks. All live trades all real money. I lost it all a week later because I felt invincible. Computers and machines don't have feelings. They just print gains and losses and move on...that's what you need to do. Move on from trading. Life is short and trading is a long journey with impossible odds.
Good luck in whatever you do but stop throwing money away.
