I am exploring the idea of trading and been looking at a few RUclips videos. I must say yours is concise, clear and to the point without the waffle and bloody fast cars, stash of cash etc.
i hope your channel get more growing because you diverse that ,and to upload a video every day or two video every week its very good idea , i followed you before 3 months and i always being happy when i watching your videos . good luck
This is a fantastic video with genuine insight into trading stocks, I am baffled as to why 23 people would give it a thumb down, this guys has gone through the trouble to share his experience and knowledge so that people can make informed decision when it comes to trading, what more can you ask??
Man, am I glad I stumbled onto your videos. I opened a BubbleXT account and first transfered 200GBP and then another 200. I'm on the auto algorithm system. It took it to almost 1000GBP. 3 days later I'm sitting at -62. Now that i understand leverage, i saw my leverage is 100. That is just crazy. Thanks for your videos. They are absolutely fantastic.
So at this moment I am currently $25 down after a misadventure into gold during week 1. Having seen one of your other Vlogs I decided to not panic and see if it recovers through next week. I honestly wish I had watched more of your Vlogs before the adventure began so I had a much better understanding. My first month may well recover and make me look like I did ok but I recon with your tutorials the resulting months will look much better. Thank you!
@@SocialTrading Thank you for replying. Just a quick question if you don't mind. Whilst I realise I may lose my money, there is no way my account can run into negative equity is there? I told you I wish I had found your vlog before the adventure. 🤣
Thank you so much for this. This is really helpful, as I am really new on this and thinking about to invest, it helps me a lot. please keep posting your educative thoughts. Thanks once again. Glad that I found your channel.
I would advice you to make sure you know and have a trading strategy before going into trading. Trading is very complicated that is why a lot of people going into it and after loosing their start up capital twice or multiple times, never go back to it. You can buy signals or use the help of an account manager if you are not a pro
Not long found your videos chap, and enjoying them. I’ve seen a fair few so far from other broadcasters but for me their words seem to go in one ear and out the other. (or they’re sat in a Ferrari or have a stash of cash on the table). Your words seem to be sticking however so thank you for simply speaking like a normal guy. Agreed on the Simon Cowell thing too 😂
Social Trading Vlog oh no fella, what’s happened? Hope you’re ok health wise at least (I’ve been through the ol’ stress n anxiety thing too so know how that can wreck a day).
Hello @Thomas, I just have one question about leverage. I opened a buy position for Fastly for $110 X5 leverage, stop loss was set at 50% and it hit my SL and eToro deducted -$181. I was expecting -$55. How did they are at -$181? Thank you. I always watch your videos and I learned more about trading. Keep safe.
Is it really a good idea to put a "Stop Loss" amount? Because when you withdraw (by setting a stop loss amount) when the stock is going down, you are basically incurring a loss. Whereas if you just wait until the stock goes back up (which I was told it usually does) and hopefully get the "Take profit" amount. Am I making sense or are there factors that I'm not taking into account? PS: Not an expert. Just my understanding. Im a novice at this.
Hey there. I'm also just learning, so please just take this as my opinion rather than the total truth. Yes, the value may go back up and then hit your take profit. but it could also keep going down for hours or weeks or months, and then you have to either cut the trade off at an even lower price, or wait for a potentially very long time before it makes its way back up again. During that time, you could have been using the money for a more productive trade... It's something people are always trying to balance - how do i not lock in my losses unnecessarily, but on the other hand, how do i know when to cut off a losing trade and use my money elsewhere... A 'stop loss' is basically a very basic tool which can help with 'risk management' - which is the name given to all of the actions you can take to safeguard your capital and not incur very heavy losses. (Remember most new retail traders lose much more than they make). There's a lot to be said for patience and waiting until your trades are in the green, but traders will learn technical analysis, and fundamental analysis to back up their theories of why an asset is going to do well - they don't just wait blindly thinking "Well surely everything goes back up eventually" - there's no certainty in that way, so they do their best to use analysis to pick which assets to buy and inform their decisions about where it could be going next. They plan their entry points into a trade and their exits from trades accordingly. The more you know, the better really. (At least I think so!)
on trades you choose the time you will trade for.What if you do not put stop loss in a 15 minute trade and it ends with your trade going the opposite.i think stop loss is good
I have just found your channel and your videos are really amazing. You explain everything so well and you hit all of the points that I have been wondering about. Thank you so much! :) Btw if you are trading with leverage and you close all of your positions within a day then you don't pay any of these fees (night or weekend ones)? Is there anything else that you need to be careful about with this type of trading for example is there a limited amount of trades you can make?
Love your videos, mate. Question. If I daytrade a stock using leverage and close at a profit, then I dont have to pay any rollover fees for the CFDs, right?
Tom, when copying traders, do we necessarily work with their leverage? Or can stay with our own? I hope the question makes sense.... thank you in advance
It copies the leverage they've used on their trades. You can't use any custom leverage when copy trading, it just copies their portfolio exactly as they've set it up :)
1 question where do they widraw the money for the daily fee lets say i put 500 in my account and i open a trade for 500 i have 0 left in my account where they widraw the fees from ? from the profits if we made any?
His last video explains how there is a middle price between the buy and sell price the spread fee, so whenever you buy/sell it will come out of automatically with the money you're using to buy or sell
Hey Mate, Thanks for wonderful videos. You have cleared so many doubts I have. I am using etoro from past one week, I hardly used Leverage but when I choose X1 (which means no Leverage), but it is still showing "CFD" .. Why is that soo ? Does it involved any fees, since I am new to trading and really want to play safe and keep stocks for longer period.. Minimum 1 year .. Please advise.
:D Recently - coconut oil :) It means I don't have to do much - if I just put that stuff in it, it looks at least slightly presentable... I smell like a coconut though, which is a bit weird.
Hi, I am currently new to etoro and your videos are really helpful, especially this one. I have a question regarding CFD. So in short, when I buy using cfd, the final value before closing will be the solid value that i will be receiving, minus the fees????
this really answered so many questions in my head. As a Muslim, I can't use leverages and open a short position because of the interests that it will incur. Interest is not allowed in Islam. So only buying position for me in x1. :)
Thanks :) Leverage amplifies the size of the trade you make. So if you trade $100 with X10 leverage, it's like you're trading $1000 worth of the asset. There's no way to have no money, and just use leverage to make trades.
Hi Tom, thanks for your vids. I wanted to clarify, if you use $500 on a higher leverage, ie, x5, that means that the loses will be amplified, in other words, the rate of losing $500 is greater due to the increased leverage (as it would be the same as investing $2500). Is this the only thing that will be lost, ie, only the $500 (+the fee of keeping the leverage overnight etc) or can you exceed the loss further? This was my fear but from what I understand, it just means that if the market goes against you, the $500 could go quicker than if you had used your own capital with x1 leverage. Is this correct?
Hi - Have you done a video showing an actual trade using leverage at all ? What I mean by this is that, when you go long or short, and you set a stop loss, sometimes it does not hit the stop loss figure you had on the chart yet it stops you out - this is because of the spread so how do you ensure you stop out exactly where you want to rather than prematurely ? what figure do you have to use - is it whatever figure stop loss you have then MINUS say 10 ? thanks
Hi Tom, very clear and concise. I did notice that l although your three Amazon trades were taken out at exactly the same time, the x1 leverage opened at 1777.34, whilst the leveraged options were 1777.25. Why is that? Is it because the spread fee is actually slightly less for an un-leveraged long? I thought all spread fees were the same.
Maybe because the CFDs are just mathematical instruments so they can open instantly as database entries, whereas the underlying asset takes some time to actually open due to the order book? Therefore it was delayed and the buy price was different... I don't think they charge any difference in spreads, or surely we'd see that stated somewhere.
I am totally new to this but I would still not copy and probably not use leverage, just use my ideas on companies worth. However your videos are making it all easier to follow and slightly less scary. But I still don't understand the limits ? I want to put a limit to how much I can lose, sure, but not how much I can win. Can I ??
let's say there are 2 people, one has 500 eur but uses x2 leverage, other one has 1000. End of the month both earn %10, let's say they trade stocks, how much difference in profits would they have in your opinion?
Hello thanks for your video , I have a question , when you close your trade when the market isn’t open, and when it open, does it close at a different price than the last price I closed it at? Or it close on lower or higher than the price I closed it on but didn’t get executed due to the market being closed?
I genuinely don't know how they can afford to absorb people's losses with the 'negative balance protection' if that's what you're meaning. I find it quite incredible too... Maybe it's just that the value of the marketing opportunity the guarantee provides them outweighs the losses they need to absorb from people blowing their accounts...
Hey! I have a question. If i buy an eft like the (VIT) or (VOO) with 1x leverage, i still get the cfd symbol. But it’s still says its no fees in weekends or normal days. But does that mean i buy the etf with the same consept as i own it myself, and get the same profits like i would without it beeing bought as a cfd? Cus i have no leverage, so why is it still bought like an dfc? And another question. Can i hold an cfd for as long as i want? I want to buy an eft with 1x leverage. And i know there is no limit on the hold time on index or mutual founds or eft’s that are bought in your name. But i dont know when it get bought like a cfd…
The real problem of using leverage is that the spread in some stocks match them with a support or resistance... so E-Toro have the psychological factor of their side.
Yeah, we can hold the trade open for as long as we want (except for very rare cases in certain assets which have expiration dates, but that's a rare thing... you can find out about that in the commodities section in the help section I believe...)
Hi. I have a questions. What if I open a 100$ position with x5 leverage to it and have lets say 400$ of available-to-trade funds still in my account. In case market will go to different direction and I start loosing money can I also loose those 400$ available-to-trade funds or the only maximum I can loose is my initial investment of 100$? Thank you for clarifying in advance.
Does the logic of "if I buy I would earn money only if it goes up and if I sell I would earn money only if it goes down", applies to all open position EVEN IF it's not a CFD?
if you use leverage you'll have overnight and weekend fees. it depends how long you plan to hold the trade open. if youre asking that though, I'm assuming (possibly jncorrectly) that you're a beginner. when I started, I got into a lot of trouble using leverage as its shocking how quickly you can make or more importantly lose money on the trade. the problem is that when the trade is losing money most new people panic, make bad decisions and end up losing their money. it happens to the majority of people statistucally... in my experience that was true.
I would advice you to make sure you know and have a trading strategy before going into trading. Trading is very complicated that is why a lot of people going into it and after loosing their start up capital twice or multiple times, never go back to it. You can buy signals or use the help of an account manager if you are not a pro
What happens if you use leverage but don’t hold overnight? Say I buy a CFD at 1.30 and sell at 4.30 will I have to pay any fees apart from the spreads?
What I don't understand is the fee. If your amount is 500 usd, you chose 5x leverage and the cost is 0.59 usd/day it means they borrowed you 2500 usd. Then you can buy cfd from 3000 because you had 500 usd. Am I right? Or you are not able to invest your own money?
question. in virtual portfolio, i bought XXX stock using x5 leverage, at the bottom of the buy window/popup there is dailyfee of XX amount. i hold the stock for a few days. then i decided to sell XXX stocks for profit, In my virtual portfolio view there is NO figure or simulation of the daily fees it HAD incurred in the past days. is this normal?? this is misleading
Hiya Im new to etorro and just put in a set order last night.....I used x2 leverage but didn't fully understand....Can i delete my set order b4 start of market and will i get charged for this?
Hi guys I am currently long on a CFD for DJ30 using 20x leverage in eToro and I am planning to hold this long term. Is this a good idea? I want to re invest my dividends and let compounding interest do it's magic. Based on my calculations the fees will be covered by the gains and dividends however I am worried that I missed something specially on compound interest since I am using 20x leverage technically I am borrowing eToros money so does this mean I will pay the compounding interest and loose money instead of gaining? please share your ideas.
How long can a leveraged trade stay open?? Does a leverage trade have a deadline to sell or trade? If it doesn’t why do people sell when they are in the red??
It can stay open indefinitely as far as I'm aware, but you'll be paying those little 'rollover' fees every day you hold the trade open - they're very small, but over a long enough time, they can be significant. I think there are a variety of reasons people sell - they suddenly need the money for something else out in the real world and have to close their position even though it's at a loss (very common with newer traders who haven't thought it through...), or they might just fear that the trade is going to lose even more money in future, so they close it now to avoid an even bigger loss down the road. There's an awful lot of pyschological pressure which the new trader experiences which is really hard to deal with - it usually takes people time and experience to handle it well.
Is the amount of loss and profit is the final amount? I meant for example I opened 100$ on gold with 20x leverage accidentally. My total money on the account is 200$. If I loss 40$ does that meant my loss is 800$? How will etoro take 800$ if my only money on etoro is just 200$. Sorry I'm so confused.

I genuinely don't know how they can afford to absorb people's losses with the 'negative balance protection' if that's what you're meaning. I find it quite incredible too... Maybe it's just that the value of the marketing opportunity the guarantee provides them outweighs the losses they need to absorb from people blowing their accounts...
@@SocialTrading do you come knocking on your door?
if you are leveraged and you have alot of people copying your trades cant you control the market? or a stock with a low market cap??
Hey! I have a question. If i buy an eft like the (VIT) or (VOO) with 1x leverage, i still get the cfd symbol. But it’s still says its no fees in weekends or normal days. But does that mean i buy the etf with the same consept as i own it myself, and get the same profits like i would without it beeing bought as a cfd? Cus i have no leverage, so why is it still bought like an dfc?
And another question. Can i hold an cfd for as long as i want? I want to buy an eft with 1x leverage. And i know there is no limit on the hold time on index or mutual founds or eft’s that are bought in your name. But i dont know when it get bought like a cfd…
The real problem of using leverage is that the spread in some stocks match them with a support or resistance... so E-Toro have the psychological factor of their side.
Amazing video mate!
Where is the next video you mention at the end of this about losing money? Cannot see it
what if we lose at leverage position? are our equity going down to minus right away?
Can we continue the trade for weeks without closing it in a day in day trading ?
Yeah, we can hold the trade open for as long as we want (except for very rare cases in certain assets which have expiration dates, but that's a rare thing... you can find out about that in the commodities section in the help section I believe...)
@@SocialTrading Thanks very much for the reply .
Hi. I have a questions. What if I open a 100$ position with x5 leverage to it and have lets say 400$ of available-to-trade funds still in my account. In case market will go to different direction and I start loosing money can I also loose those 400$ available-to-trade funds or the only maximum I can loose is my initial investment of 100$? Thank you for clarifying in advance.
Is it possible to change the leverage of a trade after you have bought it?
Does the logic of "if I buy I would earn money only if it goes up and if I sell I would earn money only if it goes down", applies to all open position EVEN IF it's not a CFD?
Thank you! Very useful info!
If you wanted to buy $1000, would it be better to buy $250 with x4 leverage to save on fee's? Or am I missing something here?
if you use leverage you'll have overnight and weekend fees. it depends how long you plan to hold the trade open. if youre asking that though, I'm assuming (possibly jncorrectly) that you're a beginner. when I started, I got into a lot of trouble using leverage as its shocking how quickly you can make or more importantly lose money on the trade. the problem is that when the trade is losing money most new people panic, make bad decisions and end up losing their money. it happens to the majority of people statistucally... in my experience that was true.
I would advice you to make sure you know and have a trading strategy before going into trading. Trading is very complicated that is why a lot of people going into it and after loosing their start up capital twice or multiple times, never go back to it. You can buy signals or use the help of an account manager if you are not a pro
What happens if you use leverage but don’t hold overnight? Say I buy a CFD at 1.30 and sell at 4.30 will I have to pay any fees apart from the spreads?
What I don't understand is the fee. If your amount is 500 usd, you chose 5x leverage and the cost is 0.59 usd/day it means they borrowed you 2500 usd. Then you can buy cfd from 3000 because you had 500 usd. Am I right? Or you are not able to invest your own money?
learning state
so there is no overnight fees for X1 leverage? is it wayyyyy much better if we trade using the X1 leverage?
Yes, but most people can't afford to put enough into trades using no leverage, so it's really an issue with how much money people are trading with...
question. in virtual portfolio, i bought XXX stock using x5 leverage, at the bottom of the buy window/popup there is dailyfee of XX amount.
i hold the stock for a few days.
then i decided to sell XXX stocks for profit, In my virtual portfolio view there is NO figure or simulation of the daily fees it HAD incurred in the past days. is this normal?? this is misleading
Hiya
Im new to etorro and just put in a set order last night.....I used x2 leverage but didn't fully understand....Can i delete my set order b4 start of market and will i get charged for this?
thank you for this
Thanks for watching :)
Thank you heaps
:)
So is there a reason why you shouldn't leverage?
Hi guys I am currently long on a CFD for DJ30 using 20x leverage in eToro and I am planning to hold this long term. Is this a good idea? I want to re invest my dividends and let compounding interest do it's magic. Based on my calculations the fees will be covered by the gains and dividends however I am worried that I missed something specially on compound interest since I am using 20x leverage technically I am borrowing eToros money so does this mean I will pay the compounding interest and loose money instead of gaining? please share your ideas.
New Sub here. Very nicely explained, Thanks!
Thank you! :)
You are a lifesaver, thank you 👏
Hey!
Could you test Trading 212 and highlight the differences btw CDF and regular stocks?
Thanks
never heard of them - I'll go and have a look! Thank you :)
Amazing videos! TYVM BRO!
Thanks a lot! :)
but what happens if the cfd goes down like 50% and there is no hope for it to go up? I have pay the difference of what I lost right?
How long can a leveraged trade stay open?? Does a leverage trade have a deadline to sell or trade? If it doesn’t why do people sell when they are in the red??
It can stay open indefinitely as far as I'm aware, but you'll be paying those little 'rollover' fees every day you hold the trade open - they're very small, but over a long enough time, they can be significant. I think there are a variety of reasons people sell - they suddenly need the money for something else out in the real world and have to close their position even though it's at a loss (very common with newer traders who haven't thought it through...), or they might just fear that the trade is going to lose even more money in future, so they close it now to avoid an even bigger loss down the road. There's an awful lot of pyschological pressure which the new trader experiences which is really hard to deal with - it usually takes people time and experience to handle it well.
Is the amount of loss and profit is the final amount? I meant for example I opened 100$ on gold with 20x leverage accidentally. My total money on the account is 200$. If I loss 40$ does that meant my loss is 800$? How will etoro take 800$ if my only money on etoro is just 200$. Sorry I'm so confused.
can we leverage on copying traders ?
