I have been finding it difficult to understand when to sell to when to buy, unfortunately i just lost my first investment capital, and I’m beginning to loose interest not until recently i come across this platform.
Sorry to hear it! Trade only on a demo account until you’re confident that you can trade profitably.
This question basically boils down to “how to learn how to trade safely.” That’s obviously a long, slow, process (for everyone!), and the answers start right here -

Statistically, there is no difference in an efficient market, tight spreads. Take any strategy, buy when buy or sell when buy, with enough samples in the set, no difference.
Don’t forget the third (and commonest, and most important) one: “when not to trade at all”!

There is such a lot in this simple question.
To keep it as simple as possible, you buy because price has been rising and it’s still rising.
Or you buy because you see that price has been falling but there are signs that it has stopped falling or is slowing down. And also that it’s starting to rise, as the two are not the same thing.
Likewise, you sell because price has been falling and it’s still falling.

you do not play with real money when you are not ready! do not deposit any cent before making sure that you are a profitable trader!

Practice with a demo account is free of charge, no risk to learn when to buy and when to sell, learn about the trend market as a reference for trade decisions while practicing risk and money management.
