MASSIVE Losing Streak - Help needed!

Ok so I think I got the basics down now.
Another move that I don't quite follow in your first two games, which might just be too advanced for me at this point, is 4.Nc3 or 3.Nc3.
From what I've seen, it is recommended to establish the pawn triangle first and afterwards move that knight to Nd2; while waiting to play the another knight to Nf3 until Black moves the e pawn.
Otherwise this might happen:
In order to prevent this very prominent trap line you have to play Nd2 first, as per Ginger GM.

In the top section of the window where you write your post there is a little chess board symbol, an image symbol, a smiley and film roll symbol with a play button inside.
Click that film/play button, insert the youtube link of the video you want to embed and click insert.
Done.😉

My personal theory is that there's nothing special going on here.
First of all, these are blitz games. Blunders will happen. If you look at the guy's rating graph for the past 30 days, it's pretty much flat. Worrying about a bad day or two is like watching the tide coming in for six hours & worrying that the world will be flooded in a few weeks. Well, it won't be. Just keep doing your regular thing, let some time go by, and you'll see the tide will go out again.
Streaks happen. If you flip a coin 100 times, there will almost certainly be a streak of 7 heads or 7 tails in a row somewhere in your data set. This is natural and means nothing, the odds for each coin flip were still 50-50 every time.
Best and most likely answer.

Yes there are 5 rules to follow in the London system , rule 2 establish the pawn triangle , one of the rules is Flexablity , you see in the games I am playing my opponents are not making book moves so I have to keep finding moves or change move order , sometimes when c5 is played , I play Bd3 right away , so if they play c4 my bishop is already on its best diagonal , and just slips back to c2 , I will post the 3 videos they will answer all the questions very clearly ,and they are not too long

Ok these are the 3 videos you want to get a real solid start in the London system , in order , I will post another two great links for traps in the London system
I'll check those out in a minute, just wanted to tell you that I did a quick engine analysis of your first game, because I wasn't sure.
3.Nc3 & 5.f3 are both marked as inaccuracies, the engine actually doesn't even recognize this as the London System, but just calls it an Indian. Especially blocking the light square bishop with f3 appears troublesome. After looking a bit deeper I discovered that these two moves caused a lot of weaknesses in your position that your opponent didn't exploit. After f3 it's pretty much even, so you're losing the slight advantage the London System should normally grant you.

That is intetesting I need to put in through the engine again I did it on chess.coms one just before I posted it , I thought it said Nf3 was best and f3 was good certainly not an inacuracy , what engine and depth were you using ?

Yes it does say Nf3 best f3 good, I just checked it again on chess.com engine which is depth 20.
Also worth noting , engines do not like some moves which are good for human play , Ginger GM mentions an example somewhere , in the vids.
Also note I play Nc3 immediately after g6 , this is what Genger GM says to do , c4 is only played against the symetrical variation , but the engine suggests c4 here and Nc3 as a good move.
I have played it both ways and prefer c4 then Nf3 as there ate nice dicovery tactics on the light square diagonal to the king with queen and night in same positions.
Interesting , Ginger GM is an expert at the London so I trust his analysis , and prefer to follow his theiry than an engine , engine is good to check your ideas and use some or not ,
In this particular variation he has not played d5 is the point and I should have played c4 right away instead of my 4.e4
Nah man, it clearly says they are both inaccuracies which would have resulted in a disadvantageous position for you, if your opponent hadn't made a couple mistakes himself.
I'll check out some more videos for the moment.

The analysis tool’s labeling of “inaccuracies” leaves much to be desired. I’ve seen many times when it’s labeled book moves as inaccurate. In certain types of positions, computer evaluations are routinely off.
If the computer labels a move as inaccurate, it may be a good idea to take a closer look at it, but you should still treat the computer analysis with a healthy dose of skepticism. Mistakes and blunders are bigger deals, the computer is pretty much always right about those. But inaccuracies? I think some of the computer’s so-called inaccuracies are objectively best moves.
I can not find answer in a quick search but very likely a membership benefit , I had a similar issue with trying to make a club tournament , chess.com do not tell you details like a coordernator in a club can make every game type except one very specific one , " club Daily tournament " buttons are missing in their own tutorial they show on youtube and no explanation why
