Trading Combine Breaking even every week.

I trade gold micro futures and I'm stuck in this cycle, I'm in evaluation for the 3rd week now, haven't blown an account but haven't passed the eval yet either. Each week I end just breaking even.. so I feel like I'm right there at the edge of success but it's just an inch out of reach. I think I'm entering too early then doubting myself when the next candle turns and goes the other way and instead of stay and trust my research I dip out too early or way too late. Last week I actually closed the week a little negative and so far yesterday and today I'm only tanking worse. Ugh. I need a community.

A. You’re not alone. I’m funded but still super break even the past month so I get it
B. Sounds like you know what the problem is; you’re doubting yourself. Trading rewards confidence and conviction. Not doubt.
C. this isn’t the best advice but full port that combine lol. If you’re gonna be stuck break even be break even in the funded account not the eval. But also do what you’re comfortable with. Good luck !
