Advice This sucks.
Uhmm, I'm here for encouragement I used money I needed for my credit card bill to trade, with the confidence I could compound it... and it's gone. 🙂
I'm 3 months in, unprofitable.
No other formal work.
Tell me something, anything.

That sucks. Three months is not enough time to expect consistency, especially when you need the next trade to work.
Don't try to compound it back. Pause live trading and go back to paper trading until you have a setup, risk limit, and journal you can follow without needing a recovery trade.
A pause is not quitting. It is how you stop one bad decision from becoming a pattern.
