Some brokers will change day trade margin requirements in extreme volatility. Some answer their phones promptly, some don't. Some have great commission structures, some don't. Some offer many platforms and data choices, some don't. Some offer block (POA) accounts, some don't. Some offer VPS co-location deals, some don't. Some will will direct clients to you if you are registered or using a leader/follower software, some don't.
Find the best fit, or best two or three that meet your needs.

Ended first stream. In middle of it, I closed the stream by mistake and quickly jumped back in when I realized I closed it. Been a while since I did this so I'm a bit rusty with the app.
But anyway, took two shorts this session. The 2nd trade needed a bit of work. I think I need to exit laggy breakout quicker because it usually presents a decent fade after...

so i'm moving back to amp. i wanted to trade through tradingview as well using cqg connnection..tradovate will charge every platform separately. right now i'm paying $13 for tradovate (no way out of that), $13 for cqg data, 0.3/contrat cqg route, 9.99/month for tradingview..i'm like what the fuck.
with amp, it's one data for cqg that i can use on tradingview, sierra, cqg, etc. without those extra platform fees and i can crossover anytime
so yea, FUCK tradovate..

I've been experimenting with both fading and momentum/trend trading into one strategy. Strictly following one way like i did beginning of the year with breakout/trend trading just didn't work out well for me half way through the year when reversion market was taking over.
This is not the first time i've tried to incorporate both methods; the challenge is getting that transition just right. Trying to get to the sweet spot without curve fitting too much.
Anyway, started this week back at AMP with this dual approach. been trading off sierra charts so i have some data to review after a while.
the grind fuckin continues....

From your recent livestreams you've been mean reverting when breakout was appropriate and vice versa. You've got away with it sometimes because of the high volatility and the distance of your target - you take a late breakout when the market has switched to mean reversion and barely get filled for your profit. When volatility reduces those trades will become losers.
What (outside of TA) do you use to determine which mode to be in?
That's the missing piece for you. You've got the discipline. You can fix the overleveraging and go to level staking rather than doubling up. Method...why do markets mean revert and why do they continue? How can you know ahead of time which mode to use...
Your other comment...not knowing when to stop when losing...in a day a market will (typically) only generate a certain number of signals in the time period you are trading. Example - if you're taking a reversal or breakout opportunity to make net gains daily, you may not need more than 2 attempts at entering. Maybe move away from using (1 minute) charts. Define more precisely the market condition you're reflecting. There may be fewer trade signals but the ones you generate will be more accurate. Less opportunity for losing sequences as you simply shut down for the day and look for signals again the following session.
Also, trading in and out of hours = different participant groups, different liquidity. You don't seem to be taking that into account. Maybe stick to same product and hours each day until you get it working, then up your contract size rather than trading longer shifts.
