Trigger for creating Account records

Hello, 

I am new to this platform. I started to learn about triggers and I stuck with this code, I can't get what is not right about it. Every help will be great. Thank you! 
 

trigger AccountTrigger on Account (after update,after insert, before update, before insert) {
    List<Account>listAccounts = new List<Account>();
    
    for(Account a: Trigger.new){
        if(a.CheckPayment__c == True){
           
            Account account1 = new Account();
            account1.Name = 'Akaunt1';
            account1.First_Name__c = 'Acount1';
            account1.Second_Name__c = 'Surname1';            
            account1.Status__c = 'Idle';
            
            Account account2 = new Account();
            account2.Name = 'Akaunt2';
            account2.First_Name__c = 'Acount2';
            account2.Second_Name__c = 'Surname2';
            account2.Status__c = 'Idle';
            
            Account account3 = new Account();
            account3.Name = 'Akaunt3';
            account3.First_Name__c = 'Acount3';
            account3.Second_Name__c = 'Surname3';
            account3.Status__c = 'Idle';
            
            Account account4 = new Account();
            account4.Name = 'Akaunt4';
            account4.First_Name__c = 'Acount4';
            account4.Second_Name__c = 'Surname4';
            account4.Status__c = 'Idle';
            
            Account account5 = new Account();
            account5.Name = 'Akaunt5';
            account5.First_Name__c = 'Acount5';
            account5.Second_Name__c = 'Surname5';
            account5.Status__c = 'Idle';
            
     	}
    }
    insert listAccounts;
}

Hi Bozidar Andev 7,

Above trigger will work ,I don't know your requirment but as you have added before insert and after insert ,So it will create 10 Accouns on insert of one account and 10 Accounts on update of one Account if your CheckPayment__c  is true .

Thank you very much Manoj, so I was missing that crucial line of code after every account. Yes it creates 10 accounts, I only added all of the conditions just to check if it works as I need only after insert and update, will fix that issue, again thank you very much. :)
