Doesn't it matter about Starta? I bought STARTA at .45 and sold it at .82 or .84. that is almost double. This is what I don't understand. Please show me the dotted line.

What people are saying is that you bought STARTA at .82 or 84 and sold it at .45.
this can be found out rather easily, if you submit a full size screenshot, you have Windows, so do this:
click Print Screen
go to www.imgur.com
click "New upload"
click Ctrl + V
this will upload your screenshot,
simply copy your URL and paste here, and it should be easily readable if you follow those steps

in discussion of the price, you can basically just summarize it as:
X is worth 0.1 bitcoin, which right now is around $700
if bitcoin drops 10% in value, generally, X would also drop atleast 10%

so, profiting in BTC would involve X going up in price in comparison with BTC,
like X is worth 0.11 bitcoin instead = 10% profit in BTC
if BTC remained at the exact same USD value as it was when you bought initially, then you earned 10% in USD too, assuming you'd cash out right away(before the market moves).

however, as you can see right now, the market is dropping. if BTC drops 50%, even if X remains at 0.1 BTC each, you still lost half your investment in USD.

but BTC hasn't dropped 50% in a long time now, so that's not what has happened here(in relation to what you wrote earlier)

Either way, if you send that screenshot I'm sure it'll be clear what happened.
you lost ~50% and you have two prices: 0.45 and .82
anyone who reads these two prices and hears you lost ~50%, would say you bought at .82 and sold at .45
