Looking for Career Advice for a poor prop trader

Hi!

I have been working as a legacy prop trader for 3 years. However, my performance is very poor. I am considering giving up. I currently have CMT L2, CFTe and FRM Part I. I am working on CFA as well. I have a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics. I tried to find a job related to technical analysis. However, it seems no such kind of job on the market. I am very frustrated with my current situation. I hope to gain advice from the forum.

Thanks!
