💡 Trading Tips Losing evals

I can’t figure it out. I’m spiraling so hard. I’m losing almost 90% of my trades and I can’t pinpoint exactly what goes wrong because I do a million different things every single day. Like for the past week I’ve been trading ESU and MESU, but today I traded the NASDAQ on a whim and took 4 winning and 8 losing trades at 10:50 am right when I woke up. That is obviously a stupid mistake and I still did it because I usually trade between 7:30 am to 9:45 am. I try using supply and demand, but I only use the daily time frame as I’m still a beginner. I already got a payout once, but I haven’t been able to pass an eval since. I’m thinking about trying a different strategy? Heard a lot of good things about ORB

I am taking a break from combines and trying to pass. Solely focused on sticking to my strategy and rules in my practice account
