sell low and buy lower

You just beat me to it. If you buy low and the exchange rate drops you could just be fucked.Ideally buy lowest sell highest ,sell highest buy lowest.

You didn't get the idea.
You should buy when you know it will go up and sell when you know it will go down. It doesn't have to be the lowest or the highest. It really doesn't matter what allready happend with the price. All that matters is the future.
When you buy, if it's the lowest, or the highest it's not important. It is important to go up after that.

If I don't understand when to sell relative to where I bought, or when to buy, relative to where I sold, maybe I should forget about this whole trading thing?
Anyway nobody KNOWS when the price is going to up, or KNOWS when it's going to go down.

First don't give up. You don't have the education mixed with practice to give the answer to your question. Predicting the trend is an art. And it is based on fundamental and technical analysis. Knowing the fundamental and technical indicators that will tell you what the price (9 out of 10 times) will do. First, get you some good books by Steve Nison, Person, etc. and learn and practice what they teach. See if it works for you. If not, find someone else's strategy and practice that. Keep doing this until you find the system that works for your trading comfort. Here is a tip: reversals happen at support and resistance points. Your job as a trader is to know where these points are at and when they change from period to period. And if your indicators signals at these points it is time to choose your side: Bull or Bear.
