      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.

    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.

    • @SocialTrading
      @SocialTrading  Před 6 lety +2

      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 ...

    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.

    @marxcyberian5765 Před 3 lety

    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?

  • @woopsserg
    @woopsserg Před 4 lety

    It should have been heavily stressed that there is a major risk difference when shorting. When shorting loss is virtually unlimited, profit is limited. When buying, possible profit is virtually unlimited, loss is limited. When you say buy shares, oil or whatever without leverage, you can hold it for however long you want. Price dropped by 90%, whatever, you can hold it for years until it raises again. You cannot lose more money than what you spent on them. But when you are shorting, possible loss is unlimited. Say share price rises 10 times, now you need to spend 10 times more money to buy the shares back. And of course you don't have unlimited amount of money on your account to cover for that. On top of that you cannot earn more than stock was "sold" for. Share price cannot drop below zero. When you use leverage, difference of course diminishes, since your possible loss multiplies even when you buy shares. And that's why you see reminder about 76% people losing money when using CFDs. Using leverage and shorting are very similar in regard of skyrocketing the risk.

    Oh my goodness, I was bamboozled about selling before I watched this, I love you dude.....

I'm working my way through your content 👍

    • @SocialTrading
      @SocialTrading  Před 3 lety +1

      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 ...

    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 ?
