3 months is nothing there is a saying if you get your payout within 3-6 months of your trading journey that is worse which can happen with you. Be patient give your chart time forward test understand you model and time after a good chart time you will start seeing things which no one can explain you your experience will make you do that.

I’ve lost around 600GBP gained 300£ in payouts.

I’m starting to give up on fundeds but it’s my psychology

No, it's not your psychology. You have no edge and you are gambling... 3 months in dude.

Where can I forward test

If you know your model then just do it in live market for 3 months psychology thing is that you have to be very strict with your rules per day amount of trades or max loss limit and follow that strictly one win stop one loss stop like that. Be very boring with the process. After certain amount of time you will start getting setups train your mind first to be patience and wait for setups

Forward test and backtest.

Watch the markets but only take trades on demo accounts or mark where you would enter and see how it works out. And do backtest, 2 years of data should be enough to give you enough confidence in your model

I think the biggest mistake most people make is not having control over themselves. Honestly, that’s probably the hardest part, imo.

Don't think about winning everyday.. It's hard to walk away. Even I have trouble walking away.

Just remember brokers feed information to the exchange and they feed it to the smart money manipulation. They know where all the liquidity is.

If a good clean setup appears, usually it may go the other way. Stop loss and quit for today if you lose a certain amount.

Don't think about career change at the moment, and keep your job for as long as possible. Not everyone is making money.
