Howdy Tripple333,
I wish you the best of luck on your trading journey. I am brand new to trading. Brand brand new. But I do have some relate-able skills from playing poker for a living. My current goal is putting together what needs to go into my trading journal (I made a post about this) and then it will be putting together a trading plan. Followed by experimenting with trading systems. I have yet to make an actual trade. I still need to learn MT4 and get it set up so it’s a little more efficient for me.
I shared those quotes above as it seems you have experience with trading (although it seems negative BUT I believe you will turn it around!). When I taught poker, one big hurdle for me was learning that I was teaching guys with a lot of bad habits (they didn’t know they were bad let alone know they were doing them). It was easier to teach a complete noob than an experienced (knew the rules of the game) long term losing player (had winning sessions but negative net returns). But after I learned that hurdle existed it really helped with my teaching. So the only knowledge I can offer (BECAUSE I’M BRAND NEW lol) is to try your best to keep an open mind and find a good mentor/group that you can run your questions/ideas through.

Maybe if you haven’t read that book, it might help ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Truly best of luck moving forward,
