FTFY, but only if you don't know what you are doing, and don't pay attention to the upcoming news diary.
I did know about the diary. Yesterday I was £100 up and ready to close when a series of long phone calls took my eye off the ball, loss has been growing steadily. I knew the news was coming today, but there wasn't much I could do. Hoped for a bit of a rally which never came.

Lesson learned then.
Hoping for a rally is a fools errand - everybody would be waiting for the news, demand drops, therefore prices drop.

No icon for big mistake, so this will have to do
You are making the usual beginner mistakes:
Changing targets, changing stoplosses and increasing your risk, altering your tradeplan, not having a tradeplan, overleveraging, letting emotion get in the way, the list goes on...
