Thread: newb question

Hello,

I'm Andrew!

I have been playing around with a practice account for about 12 hours, but i'm confused.

I have been trying to master just getting orders in and things and trying to find what works for me.

I have been trying to put trailing Stops when the market seems low at 10 pips

I set a bunch up before i went to bed.

but somehow they all lost me money (like 50% of the 50K practice account lol)? i was under the understanding that I would break even at least ?

eg i buy at market is at .90 i put trailing stop in at 10 pips, at 1.00 it buys and if it goes under 1.00 it will sell ?

if you could be so kind to show me my errors!!

i'm trying to delveope this so i can program some stuff in for over night and while i'm at work,

I would look into a robot but it seems they are all scams ?
