    The "Copy Open Trades" button appears on the pop-up that appears when you decide to copy a trader on Etoro. You can either leave the box ticked in which case you will copy all of that traders "open trades" or you can untick the box in which case you will only copy the new trades that person makes after you started copying them. I discuss both options and some of the things to consider with both options.

    Short answer, do not leave the default copy open trades box checked. If he's in profit he'll most likely sell soon. If he's in loss, he may sell as a stop loss. Both scenerios mean you lose. Just uncheck so that future trades with most profit potential will be realized by you.
    Also if you're in crypto, set the copy loss at the minimum because wild swings can trigger the stop when you didn't want to exit.

    Thanks for explaining exactly what I didn't understand, and making it so clear. Just to say that I find it useful to click on the P/L(%) column to make the trades line up from most to least profitable, to get an idea where someone I might copy is in the cycle of profit and loss.

    so basically what you mean:
    in order to copy the whole portfolio of the trader, we should copy the open trade as well. But my question is, they entered the trade position at X dollar and say, when I copy the open position now, i might enter at a different price -> which means my profit will eventually be different from the trader I am copying???
    Say, if we see that some of the stocks they bought (still in open trade status) are making a lot of money and the price is higher than average price right now (say Amzn stock) and we don't expect it to go up again but instead it may go down - it is better not to copy open trade right?

    Is there any point hitting "copy open trades" if you can see they made most of their profits already from trades they opened a long time ago? As in, you already missed the boat and won't see as big profits from copying those trades too? Is it better to wait for him to open new trades so you can gain same % profits as him?

    I recommend you and thank you for your explanations and mentioning the price difference between the trader and the moment you copy his opend trades, to make it maybe simpler should not the person try to copy someone at the times the trader opens and closes trades if the trader mentions it, in doing so you can't do nothing wrong i presume. Once again gratitudes mate and have a rentable and more importantly happy new year.

    • @SocialTrading
      @SocialTrading  Před 6 lety

      Thanks for your feedback :) It really depends on how frequently the person you're copying trades - you can't know exactly when they will open a new trade, but, on their statistics page, at the bottom, you can see their trade frequency statistics which will give you an idea of how often they will use your money in trades.

    @anirbano Před 3 lety

    Their copytrade feature can be made so much better. They should really provide an option to use some money to copy open trades and put in some money exclusively to copy future trades, not rebalance all trades based on future trades. This seems an obvious better system to me as it would allow real hands-off copytrading to people who don't wanna get much involved and want to auto-pilot their trading. I got into eToro because I thought copytrading was cool. Now after learning more about it and investing in general, I closed all my copy trades and reinvested the money for real crypto. In case of crypto, which is all that's available in eToro US, when you copytrade, you don't even actually own any crypto. All you can do is hope to close the copy at a profit someday. Makes no sense to use copytrade if you keep up with news at all and know what you are doing. I shouldn't need to sell all your crypto holdings to get any value out of it.

  • @muhammadtaghioladhamzehzar5764

    Amazing content, been watching all your videos since the first one and will watch them all. You make it very easy to understand and point out very basic but very important questions that I believe all new traders think about. Here is one: if you copied a trader without copy open trades, and now you want to stop copying them, do you get you full money back if he/she didn’t use any of it?

    • @SocialTrading
      @SocialTrading  Před 2 lety

      Hi there - Thanks so much :) Yeah, if they didn't use the money, it should just be returned to your available balance when the copy closes. At least I think so! :) Try it on the virtual portfolio first... You'd have to copy them when all the markets are closed to make sure they didn't place any trades. And then uncopy before the markets open....

    But what if you add money to the person you are allready copying. If The person you copy has 20 open trades in BTC for example and all are in the + and you add money with copy open trades it will retake those open positions to the date you add the extra funds and you loose all your profits you had over these 20 trades. Wouldn't it be advisable to don't use copy trades when you add extra money? When I added a 1000 dollars to one of the people I copy I lost a big chunk of my profits I had with that person. Plus my open positions got retaken so for the first few days my profits just went down, down, down.

Please correct me if I am wrong, it would be a good strategy if my goal is to wait 6 months before making the withdrawal of the investment looking for someone to copy taking into account their general statistics in time and with open trades without looking so much if there are reds or green. all of this is correct?

    • @SocialTrading
      @SocialTrading  Před 3 lety

      You could either stop the copy, and re-copy with open trades clicked (you'll have to pay spread fees again) OR, you could add new funds to your account (if you can afford it) and click 'copy open trades' for the new funds... you'd have to be aware of the $1 minimum copied trade size though if you wanted to get all of the open trades with the new money you added...
      czcams.com/video/BSxCSZHx5kI/video.html
      Also, even if you do get all of their open trades by adding new funds and copying open trades, the speed at which your initial deposit will be used up in new open trades depends on how frequently the person you're copying trades - you can see that stats on the bottom left of their stats page. The more frequently they trade, the quicker your money will be used up in active trades. There's a few things to consider there.

    • @SocialTrading
      @SocialTrading  Před 3 lety

      Thanks :) It really depends what you're after, and whether you want to wait until the trader uses up your newly added funds if you don't copy open trades. It depends how frequently the trader will make new trades and start using your money (you can see their average trade frequency at the bottom of their stats page). It also depends if you want to be exposed to the current market moves, or let the trader slowly use up the money over more time - again though, it depends how frequently they usually trade...

    Greetings from Mexico

    • @SocialTrading
      @SocialTrading  Před 7 lety +2

      Hi there Emilio, thanks! Yeah, it's getting pretty hard to find good traders who aren't into trading cryptos, as the best traders don't limit themselves to any 1 type of asset, they go wherever the volatility and therefore profit is. What I'm looking for at the moment is people who only have cryptos as a small percentage of their portfolio, or who show broad diversification in the rest of their portfolio. There are a lot of U.S tech stocks + crypto portfolios out there at the moment, especially into Etoro's "Editor's Choice" recommendations so I'm constantly looking for others. I'll try to find some and maybe make a video about them. As for the calculations on profit, yeah they're not the simplest thing to understand, and I'll do a video on them too (to be honest there's still a few questions I have myself, so I'll make sure I'm giving you the facts before i make it :) )

      @SocialTrading  Před 6 lety

      Not as far as I know, nope. When you open a new copy on a trader, there's a 'copy stop loss' which you have to set. This is there to automatically close the entire copy if you ever lose a certain amount of the money you have invested with that trader. The maximum you set it to is 95% of the money you have invested with them.

      It depends who you're copying really - how frequently they open new trades etc and how patient you are... If in doubt, ask the trader who you want to copy whether you should copy open trades or not. I copied Harshsmith again this week, and wasn't sure, so I asked him, and he told me the best time to start the new copy with open trades... Useful!

    Tom, what happens to your investment funds if the trader you are copying decides to stop trading or closes all accounts and takes his money out?

    • @SocialTrading
      @SocialTrading  Před 2 lety +1

      As far as I can tell, if he were to take all of his money out and close his account, he'd be off the popular investors program, and we'd automatically stop copying him and our money (plus any profit, or minus any loss) would be returned to our available balance.
      I don't know the exact mechanism for how that would work though - I've not come across a situation where anyone is complaining that a trader they're copying left the site without warning...
      I've been copying people who decide publicly to stop being a popular investor and who decide to leave the eToro platform - there was no trouble there, on the day they said they'd leave they just closed all trades and from then on, there were no more new trades opened and a big pinned message on their profile saying they'd stopped trading on eToro. I actually kept copying them for an extra month to see if they came back :) But they didn't, so eventually I just stopped copying them and went and copied someone else.
      I've never seen a situation where a PI suddenly vanishes for whatever reason. I'd imagine eToro has a plan though, as it must happen...

      Hi Kay, thanks! :) Yes, I believe so - you might want to ask Etoro directly to be sure, but my understanding is that all copied trades have the same characteristics as if you traded yourself - the trade is merely executed by someone else for you, but it's your trade opened in your account with all of the regular fees and characteristics of a trade. If they say otherwise, please let me know!

    Apart from crypto, If you cannot dedicate a huge protion of your week to analysing the markets / graphs you will not make money trading. just dipping in and out of the market with a small account will get you no were. to make money in stocks as a working person you are much better off working hard at your own job and transfering funds over into copy trading . its not exciting but thats a good thing. your money will grow.

    These videos are great - thank you. I have a question.I followed Jay on open trades, back in September. Now its highly volatile I'd prefer to do new trades when I add funds to Jay. It doesn't have this option when I am adding a second round of money. Will a second round of deposits go to new or open trades?

    • @SocialTrading
      @SocialTrading  Před 6 lety

      Hi Katherine. It will get used up in new trades as you can't edit trades which are already open. A lot of people seem to be wanting to do the opposite and add money straight into their open trades, but when they find out they can't they then ask whether they should close the copy and re-open the copy with the 'copy open trades' option selected. Scary idea when there's so many all-time-highs and so much volatility. You can check the bottom of the trader's stats page to get an idea of how often per week they'll be opening new trades and therefor using up some of that new money you add. Hope it all goes well.

      Really up to to you ... It depends what you can risk, and the style of the trader you're copying. If they hold trades open for a year, then I'd wonder if it's worth waiting for a year to copy another trade (if i don't copy open trades)

    • @SocialTrading
      @SocialTrading  Před 3 lety

      Nope - the people we copy set the stop losses on the individual trades they make - we're just mirroring exactly what they do. We can close copied trades manually, but not alter the parameters of the trade like leverage or stop loss or take profit.
      If they have enough money, and we're copying them with enough money to get past the minimum copied trades size rule, I don't think there is an upper limit on the number of trades we can copy via a trader. There could be, but I haven't seen that yet...

    • @SocialTrading
      @SocialTrading  Před 5 lety

      As far as I can see right now, it depends on what's currently happening with the assets they have open and what the PI sees as the future for them - my current strategy is to have a look and apply some basic technical analysis to the open trades, but then I also ask the Pi directly, as they'll hopefully have more insight into the fundamentals of the assets and why they've still got those trades open.

    • @SocialTrading
      @SocialTrading  Před 7 lety

      Hi there - to verify your account you don't need to deposit money, you need to upload a copy of your ID or passport, as well as a recent utility bill or bank statement which shows the address you registered with on it. When i first got asked to do this i was also worried - "Why do you need that?" i thought, but i did a little checking around the internet and it's standard for all exchanges to ask this - it has to do with their regulators who require it (i think for anti money-laundering laws - although there are probably way more reasons they want to know who we all are).

      I used to think that too, but now I'm more watchful of the context too. How long has the trade been drawn-down for? Is this trader the kind of trader who doesn't know how to cut their losses, or are they holding onto this losing trade for good reason? Is there a pattern to how they hold trades which are drawing-down? Can I see enough of their trading history to assure me that they're not just holding-until-it-goes-green-no-matter-what? I'm not sure if I'm right with these questions either :) But they've been increasingly added to my thinking since I made this video...

    • @SocialTrading
      @SocialTrading  Před 6 lety

      Hi there, I think that because it's CFDs it's pretty much instant. Even with cryptos, you now trade real cryptos on Etoro unless you've opened the trade via a copytrade - then it's still CFDs. I was watching Jay Nemesis' live stream a few weeks ago and he closed a trade live on twitch and there were a couple of hundred people watching - he asked people to comment when the trade closed on their account and at what price, to check what the difference was (people who were copying him) - they all started to comment quickly - some took a few more minutes than others, but they were all closing at the same price that his closed at - we think it's because they were all CFDs so they don't have to rely on "Market liquidity" - (the availability of buyers at that particular price) to fill the orders in the same way that the real assets would if that's what was being traded. Jay's were real cryptos, but all the people copying him were actually trading CFDs based on the real asset.
      I'm not 100% sure on this though, so ask Etoro, and if they say something different, please let me know! :)
      Also, leave Gandalf alone, he seems a nice man.

    • @SocialTrading
      @SocialTrading  Před 6 lety

      Just in case that all sounds like jargon...
      "Market liquidity" basically means the amount of buyers and sellers there are at any given price for an asset. So if you take Jay - he has around 9000 copiers, so if he bought Bitcoin, they all bought bitcoin. If he sells Bitcoin, then if it was the real asset all of his copiers were trading, there would instantly be 9000 real bitcoin sells happening and you'd need 9000 buyers at that exact same price to fill all the orders - that would be highly unlikely so you'd see the price going further and further away from Jay's selling price, and the number 9000 guy would most likely get a much worse deal which would be unfair. I think CFDs work differently as they don't rely on the availability of buyers at that price in the same way, so Jay relies on market liquidity (or rather Etoro does - Jay simply closes the trade and it closes instantly at whatever price he sold it for as listed on Etoro) and then 8999 people close CFD trades for the same asset at the same price.
      Stocks are all still CFDs so this would be true too, but they're moving toward trading the real assets on Etoro too. However, I think all copied trades will most likely remain CFDs (I know they do for now) to address issues like this.
      (At least that's what I think, but check)

      It's really insane, we pay fees even on our Deposit. If you deposit 2000 euro and you want to withdraw it right a way, you have 1950 euro (exchange fee) to withdraw minus 25$ withdrawal fee.

    • @SocialTrading
      @SocialTrading  Před 7 lety +2

      I'm not sure how much higher than are than other exchanges though. I mean i know all of the exchanges have some sort of withdrawal fees, so i'd have to see what they're like in order to compare. I will be soon as I'm getting into crypto exchanges now, but until then i can't truly say. Yeah it is a bit cheeky really asking for $25 just to give you your money back, but i do think they all do that. The point about the big exchange rate when they change your money back upon withdrawal - that one seems more dodgy, so I'll ask about that one and see what they say.

    • @SocialTrading
      @SocialTrading  Před 7 lety +4

      So i just asked them (on their help chat) I asked what their exchange fees were and they led me to their fees page - the furthest right tab does show all of their exchange rate fees, which says 250 pips if it's from Eur / USD , and 50 pips if it's U.K to USD - the other major currencies are also listed. I asked if this was high compared to say getting your bank to do the exchange itself and then transferring dollars directly to them. They said they didn't know and you'd have to ask your own bank to check this. I asked if they had compared their exchange rates to any form of "industry standard" and they said there wasn't an "industry standard" so i asked if maybe they had compared their exchange rate to the exchange rates of the top 5 European banks, and they said no, they hadn't. Which I think is a bit weak of them. So what they suggested was to actually ask your bank how much that same exchange would cost with them and see the comparison from there. Someone did tell me that they found the Etoro exchange rates really competitive, and they were a well informed person, but I'm not sure now. I might actually check with my own bank next time I'm in there :)
