Hi,

Take a look at what I marked in this print screen picture:

You can clearly see that the pair number is higher than the price I purchased the currency, but still I'm in huge negative profit. How come? lucky me it's only a demo account smile.gif

Thanks.

It looks like because you went short

Edit: That means as long as it keeps going up your going to get more in negative. When you short a position you want the trend to go down.

I must have edited my post while you were replying

Hard for me to explain exactly how it works, but thats the jist of it.


Edit: I'm new to forex also, I've learned some things, but I'm not good at trading because I'm more of a hands on learner and would need somebody to show me how.
