At the beginning I want to say that I am a semi-skilled trader. I do not have any source of income. I have been learning trading for the past 13 to 15 months and investing for 5 months. But even though I am temporarily profitable from here, I am completely losing because I cannot control my emotions. This is repeating itself with me again and again. Even yesterday I lost my capital along with my profit.

You can get back to trading on one condition: you switch to using trading bots. This will solve your problem with emotional trading.
I don't advise people with no form of job for a reliable income source to in the main time avoid trading if they can because they can't survive it having to depend completely on trading to make earns meet. You would always be be vulnerable to emotions because you wouldn't want to lose your only funds when you don't have it knowing where another funds can come from. There's no how you wouldn't lose in trading irrespective of your expertise or many years of experience but you would do better when you have other means of income not depending only on trading as that would always fuel your emotions when trading.
