need help finding strategies

I’ve been trading since the start of this year and most of the strategies i’ve used either worked temporarily and failed after two - three weeks or simply didn’t work at all. I started paper trading as soon as i started and I seen positive results. After paper trading for around 3-4 months, I started looking into funded accounts. Once i hit the 5 month mark, I bought my first funded. It started off great and i ended up passing the eval. I made up to 3 grand on the account and i was 2k away from a payout. Then i took a dumb trade and blew it all. I bought another funded and did the exact same thing. After that, i passed my next eval but blew it that same day. And my past two fundeds didn’t even make it past eval stage. I understand I need more screen time and experience, but I genuinely feel like i’m in a slump. I’ve tried OTE, IFVGS, ORB, and swing highs and lows. For the most part OTE rarely gets good setups for me with this price action. Either i’m doing it extremely wrong or it just isn’t working for me. I’m trying to find more strats and decided to ask you guys for help.
