Not so brilliant because ETORO is a speculation platform, so its not that there is a broker or anyone is selling or buying. Its way more simple, you Gamble (speculate) and they take a fee, that's it.
I'm so late but God damn you made everything fucking simple for someone first starting in investing. I knew nothing before watching this video and now I have the general foundation of my trading knowledge, now I can expand off of this. Subbed just for that
Thanks for explaining this. I was confused till you explained this. To sell my own "buy" I simply updated the take profit figure on my "buy" position. Phew..... got that sorted. Thanks again.
Yes you are right the term they use are confusing...at first we have the same thought that selling is that you have to get rid of what you have...now i know its like buyUP or buyDOWN position..thanks for sharing man😊
dude!!! I was just about to ask you how selling works cause i was hella confused on how you will sell something you dont have! Your channel really has everything you need to know about etoro! I actually got most of the info i know from your channel! after a few weeks of lurking here i finally invested a few hundred dollars to start off! Thanks for everything thomas!
Man.. you are a genius. such a simple and beautiful explanation. I was not able to grasp this concept for the last 1 week and you explained it to me 10 minutes.. Thanks a lot
I listened carefully to your guidance. And I understood it. I also listened to another vlogger who said 67% of investors on EToro fail and get burned. So I am thinking of doing exactly what you later advised and Just follow somebody who has a skill. I guess it takes the fun out of self-investment. But I don't feel expert enough to guess.
Great Info. Apparently i thought about trading all wrong, but it makes embarrassingly sense when you lay it out like that. All you basically do is buy an amount of "roller coaster" tickets"T" from a amusement park for a price "X" but you always have to deliver the same amount of tickets ("T") back to the amusement park when you leave. Now if the prize "roller coaster" tickets is going plus or minus compared to when you entered the park. That's the difference when your leaving the park.
great video thank you. can you close a position 24hr a day or will your position only close during market hours? lets say your up 20% at 10pm on a trade and your happy to take profits can you close then and there or will your position only close when market opens back up possibly losing your profit at 10am or market open? ty
Hi Thomas, quick note to say thank you for these videos. I have only been using EToro for a little over a week. Your videos have been hugely helpful as I find my way around the system and begin to understand the process. Having a nightmare with Ripple, but happy to sit on it for as long as it takes. All my other trades so far have faired much better- but not enough to offset my losses on Ripple to date. Hopefully it won’t be an expensive learning curve. My aim is not to lose 90% of my money in 90 days! Keep up the good work.
I think a LOT of people are in the same situation with Ripple - I've been there with Ethereum, back when Ethereum was at $130 :) That one took months of waiting though - Ripple may move quicker. But then look at Ethereum now ... I closed when it got back to 400 ... DOH! AND I did it so my stats wouldn't swing around wildly like they had done. Very silly ...
thanks for your easy explanation and the editing of the videos you make, that passion of trading is seen in you as you want to share it with others I thank you so much
Hello , thanks a lot for your videos you are very helpful. Let me ask you a thing, so it means if I set stop loss it doesn’t sell automatically the stocks?Grazie !
Well done. If you notice few of the top traders on Etoro invest in currencies. They baffle me! I do tend to scalp the best traders for a small profit, but it pays.
I personally don’t “sell” I leave that to my copy traders ... which is also what I do with leverage... don’t touch it, leave it to the experts... I just focus on the low prices to buy and wait for the profit ...
Beautifully explain but I really have a doubt. I mean if you open a buy position by holding underlying asset then when you close the position it’s always according to the market price and you cant decide how much you wanna sell so what move the market down actually that determine the market price that you have to sell at? For me, ETORO seems like working like a betting system that have nothing to do with stock and just allow user to bet which direction the market will goes. This is different with BINANCE for example. It allow you to make a sell spread of the underlying asset that you own. What’s your thought?
TY sir. But i have a question - when talking about giving stocks back to broker what timeframe where are talking about? Cause after lending stocks, selling them and seeing a price go up, doesn't mean you can't wait the «correcton» to come and walk out like a boss (?) 🤨 Just a small noobie here.
Hi thanks for sharing your etoro experience. I am just dipping my toe in the virtual trades, I decided to invest in as many war mongering companies like raytheon, blackstone, lockhead Martin, surprise surprise doing well. Good luck with your dealings.
@@SocialTrading please do i really want to start on this im saving money to learn about this and i want to buy a course from someone and i think i wouldn't waste my money on you
This was the most helpful advice be gotten on buying and selling so far before I had no idea how It worked I thought it was like what you said like your selling what you have Thank you very much for the info
Cool, how do you do a regular sell (non short selling)? What's the technical term for a regular sell (sell to say cash out to the bank, say it's already been 10 or more years or you need the cash)? Thanks.
You are a great teacher. I am only still very young and i'm pretty new to trading, I have learnt so much in this video and i would appreciate you making more!
but so much more, like what price to put for sell like above or below the current share price, so you can minimize risk in case of opening trade buoyancy
If the markets are closed when you open the trade, it actually becomes an 'at market' order - meaning your trade will be opened at the first available price when the markets next open. So Monday...
if the market is volatile, is it smart to make both sell and buy ? to max ur profit and min ur lose ? and then which every is lose you leave it there until it goes to profit and close the profit so you dont get lose ... sry if this sounds naive :>
this explanation was very very useful :D thank you very much. I was so confused I couldn't understand how the guys i was copying was making money on easyjet and i had easyjet shares (on buy) just a few days ago, their price dropped so bad so I lost money :))
For the same stock, I can do short selling and buying many times? For example, the current price for AAPL is $130 per share, I expect the price to drop, then I click 'sell' to short sell it. Then the price drops to $125 per share. I earn some money. However, at the price of 125, I predict the price will go up. At this point, I must close the position, otherwise I will start to lose money. My question is, at the bottom price of 125, can I click on the 'buy' to turn the short selling position to 'short buying' position to allow me to earn money from the SAME share when the price goes up ?
Hi Thomas...Can you clarify this please...In a trade position, if I sell (which means I buy at current price and betting it will de-value) and it does de-value to my loss value as per stop loss tab (which I set earlier)....What will be my final gain in payout.....or should I say how much will I be paid out in profit.....Ok say I buy gold at a dollar (on the sell option)......set my stop loss to 50c and it hits the 50c.....What will be the final payout if I close this position....thanks Ken
Oh my goodness, I was bamboozled about selling before I watched this, I love you dude..... I wondered how the broker was making money....however I'm still confused on this: when you leverage.... who pays the extra money on the profits you make, Please help !! do you have a video on it.... I'm working my way through your content 👍
Thank you - do you know I'm not entirely sure, I've never really considered it. I know that they never seem to put themselves at risk in any way... Your losses are paid out from your initial investment, including when using leverage, and when that's no longer possible, your trade is automatically closed. So with profits, I'd assume it's the same way - I'd assume leverage trades are settled in the same way as non leveraged trades - they're just giving you the equivalent of a CFD with a multiplier on it. That's a pretty loose guess though :) I'm not sure exactly how their settlements take place ...
Hi, can you help out, what if the trader I copied in etoro sell their shares, does that mean I lose that money I have invested in them for that particular share? Say they sell their bitcoin in their portfolio, does that mean I lose or earn money too?
I'm not sure precisely - they seem to keep it pretty vague... I've seen a big PI get banned for doing it repeatedly though, so I know they have enforced it very severely in the past.
@@SocialTrading my strategy is swing trading forex in etoro. sometimes i close my trade with only 15minutes and im afraid that etoro will consider that as scalping.thats why my trading time now last for 1hr just to be safe.
Great content. I’m used to TradeView soooo much easier than Etoro but Brokers allll suck for small accounts. I am trying to familiarize myself with Etoro before going live. I am currently using the Demo/Virtual mode and I don’t see the SELL button. Is this not available for Virtual Mode?
At some point you'll have to close one of them and pick a direction, otherwise they'll just cancel each other out :) Plus, you'll pay spread fees on both when you open the trades.
Appreciate the explanation, it helped a lot especially since I've literally just started trading so its all a bit scary at the moment. Enjoying it though.
I'm new to leverage trading. However, I signed up with etoro.com because of your RUclips videos which are so easy to understand, I thank you. However, I've not been able to find a button to leverage BTC. I've only got a BUY button on both portfolios. I'm from the USA. Is this the reason? I've been working in the virtual porfolio. Help please?
That was a brilliant explanation for the "SELL" position. Thank you Sir.
Thanks a lot sir! :)
Not so brilliant because ETORO is a speculation platform, so its not that there is a broker or anyone is selling or buying.

Thanks Lis! :)
can you do both sell and buy in 1 stock in etoro?
hey there, yep last time I checked, you can open a buy trade and a sell trade at the same time ... (unless they've changed it now...)

Hi. This video is 2018. Would love a 2021 video. Your explanations are great!!! Can you show a visual on the screen of the full sell trade. THX
It is a bit old eh... But essentially I'd be saying exactly the same thing. Visuals would help though...
@@SocialTrading ok. Thanks anyway. 😊
was absolutely brilliant explanation
Thanks so much!
how about in a "BUY" position? meaning it is an inversely proportional to SELL position.? am i right.?
Do you have a good stock or currency to invest in for a beginner?
but so much more, like what price to put for sell like above or below the current share price, so you can minimize risk in case of opening trade buoyancy
Just got this definition right. Thanks you're doing well!!
thank you :)
Also do you have a video on how to select a trader to copy.
I have a lot of trader reviews which go over the sort of things I look at... Maybe they'd be useful, at least in showing what I look for.
I have a question what if I'm onna buying position with apple and then apple willngo down should I close first my apple then go to selling position?
If I open a sell position at weekend, which price is used? the closing price of friday or the starting price on monday? pls advice... : ) thnx
If the markets are closed when you open the trade, it actually becomes an 'at market' order - meaning your trade will be opened at the first available price when the markets next open. So Monday...
@@SocialTrading so basically dont do it, and just wake up early
if the market is volatile, is it smart to make both sell and buy ? to max ur profit and min ur lose ? and then which every is lose you leave it there until it goes to profit and close the profit so you dont get lose ... sry if this sounds naive :>
