You already admitted that you are a noob, then why are you using bots to trade? Chances are, bots parameter settings will completely overwhelm you. So I suggest that you learn trading first because buying bots. Bots still needs human intervention(that's you) so if you feed him wrong parameters then it might not give you profits in the end and then you all blame it on the bots.

Some people put there strats up online that work; maybe thats my best bet then is to use the strats people are willing to share that really work?

thanks for the advice though. I really dont wanna wind up totally emptied out
