Every time I put my money in it would start to go well, all the indicators pointed to success then all of a sudden it would plummet out of nowhere. I'm wondering is this a bad market to start learning to day trade in or do I just need more practice. Also any tips?
Well in that case, you just have to set your entry and exit points right. You say your investment start to yield you profits before going down in drain.
So I think your entry point is pretty much okay but your exit point should be adjusted a bit so that you sell before the plummet.
Analyse your trades and find out your targets with good exit points and you should be good to go.
