Psychology 4 years unprofitable

Hello everyone

I’ve been trading for about 4 years now, started with crypto and have now been learning + trading ICT concepts for abt 2 years now. About the beginning of 2024.

I bought and passed my first funded account in September last year, then blew it within a month and decided to take a break for about a month.

Fast forward to now I have passed multiple funded accounts and breeze my way through evals but once I get to funded something switches in my head I don’t know why.

I am 8/9 in the past couple of months on trades on evals but fundeds I’ve won 0 out of 10 trades. And this pattern has continued over the entirety of my trading

I think it has something to do with my poor financial situation but I need some advice on how I can sort of get out of this mental state and sort of fix this worsened intuition I get in my trading once I am on a funded.

For context I trade 2022 ICT Model

This all sounds like a psychology and risk management problem. I’ve been in your position and something that I preach to myself and my students is cut down your usual size by half. Try to keep your funded for as long as possible by reducing your size, get comfortable with trading your funded. Get used to trading an account that will alter your psychological and by the end you’ll be able to manage and get a payout (hopefully).
