This may help you. You seem to be buying the tops and selling lows. Need to study this and see where the buys are. Green lines indicate a buy when broken. Red will be a sell if broken.

Quoting Redeflect
{quote} Sometimes the market never catches up or takes a lot longer than expected to do so. If you're too far ahead of it then it makes it harder to realize when it isn't doing what you want it to do because you take your eyes off the ball. Setting an excessively idealistic TP because it "has to go there" is a prime example. Many things can happen in the time it takes for that TP to be reached and having the expectation that it will get there doesn't actually mean it will. Buying retracements or bounces with the expectation that it will turn very...
Awesome... Thank you so much Redeflect...

There is no one setup that works 100% of the time...
Market conditions, Time of day, major news can all affect price..
Your system needs some work... But I wouldn't be looking on a forum for a quick answer to fix it.
You need a better understanding of the market, often its just more screen time and study.
The answer usually comes from inside yourself and is never easy.....
The only system that will work is one designed by and for yourself.

For someone claiming to be trading for 12 yrs and looking at the screenshots you posted, I'd say your trading is reckless. I'd suggest you clean your slate and start afresh. Build some logic, identify an edge and put some discipline in your trading. I dont mean to offend you, but this is an honest opinion. Cheers!

You need to base everything off of the money and adjust everything according to the money, if you do that it doesn't really matter what you do.

In my own experience as someone who has had similar issues with discipline, I changed my focus to trying to trade my positions down to 1-2 rather than making more trades. As everything follows the money, for me, I'm never at risk and always freeing up my account so that when I'm done closing I can make good trades again.
