Got this email today from data annotation about 2 days after I completed the assessment. Does this mean I got accepted/passed. The qualifications were just to verify and link my paypal.

I have been trading 8 months so I am not claiming to be an expert or be a good trader, I am just looking for help from people that know more than I do.
Pictures: The pictures I have attached are all of the trades I have taken in the month of April + May 5-6 on my funded account. In the pictures, if you can zoom in, I have attached a reason for taking the trade and my thoughts on what I did good and what I did bad. I know a months worth of data isn't enough, but I don't want to torture someone by uploading my trades going back months.
I would greatly appreciate if knowledgeable people could take the time and quickly scroll through, and read if you want, the attached trades and give me some advice on what I could do better.
I made a post a few days ago about wanting help, and someone suggested that I just put my data into this subreddit and see if anyone has any advice, so that's what I am doing.
CONTEXT: I am been trading the same funded account since December and haven't gotten a payout, and I keep running in circles, where I make some money then the next day I lose it**.** I am now only trading $100 risk because I only have $500 left in DD on the account, not from blowing up, just from losing more than I win.
Strategy: I trade ICT discretionary, but I have 4 models: A Reversal Model, a Continuation Model, a Short term TF 1:1 Continuation model, and a not obvious continuation model
Reversal Model: Looking for major liquidity to be manipulated then price to run higher/lower in a vshape with momentum targeting generated liquidity
Rules: Wait for HTF FVG to be inversed if price is making a HTF reversal, if its a lower TF reversal you can enter off a 1m inverse
Continuation Model: Looking for price to gap higher/lower at open create a HTF FVG retrace back to the HTF FVG.
Rules: If price takes the external high/low the entry/trade is invalid. You have to have a DOL higher/low that price is obviously drawing towards. You don't have to wait for a HTF inverse if you are confident in the continuation
1:1 Continuation model: Last resort if you missed the good entry for a big move. Just looking for price to retrace back to a 1m or 2m FVG in low volatility conditions then have strong momentum with a healthy close out of the retrace.
Rules: Price has to be trending higher/lower in low volatility conditions. You have to see momentum to enter, and price can't take the external high/low
Not obvious Continuation: Looking for price to retrace back to a HTF 5m or 15m usually an hour or 2 after market open once volatility has died down. Put in a swing point then start to slowly round away from the swing point.
Rules: SL has to be at the swing point, confirmation to enter is once price starts to make continuous candles away from the swing point. Its best to try to enter closer to the swing point

I've been trading now for 8 months and am really just looking for some sort of advice to help me improve. TBH I don't know what I am doing wrong. My analysis is good and my psych is alright. I just can't seem to make any money when trading funded accounts. I've been on the same passed funded since December, and just keep going in circles.
I'm really looking for a mentor, someone I can show my data to and see if they can give me advice and in general another view on things as well as the psych involved with trading. If anyone has any good recommendations LMK, its hard to determine who online is actually making money trading and who is larping.
Today was obviously very choppy and low probability. However my question to all of the profitable traders: Is it better to stay out of the market and preserve capital on a day like this or try a trade. Today I saw 3 trades that I liked and would've worked, but I knew the day was low probability.
So should have I taken those trades and put risk on for a day like this or just stay out like I did?
I ask this question because in the current condition of the market with many days being very choppy and low probability. I am simply not trading enough. maybe trade 2 or 3 out of the 5 days and out of those 2 or 3 days I'll usually lose 1 or 2 trades.
I have been trying to get a payout now since December same XFA. Good discipline not to crash out so it hasn't been blown.
Little context I trade ICT concept discretionally, and i just can't seem to stay consistent.
What is the biggest piece of advice you would give, or has helped you get your first payout? Psychological advice or technical.
