I dont care if this guy is real .(Paid by Etoro) or not . He gives great down to earth easy to understand advice also entertaining. He is clearly laying out the risks involved in trading. Some of the do's and dont. What more can you ask for . AND ALWAYS Do your own research !
Best Explanation. I got NAGA TRADING account. Their manager didn't explain me Leverage. Even I asked questions. As New. I lost £1400 in one night. But thank you very helpful video
@@SocialTrading I have a question! when we trade Tesla or suppose Silver, We will buy a real percentage of Tesla company or Silver in Grams? It's like that or not? if not it means that whole thing that we see in trades like Rtoro is virtual things! Or if it's real percentage how you can lose your whole stock , how its possible???*(e.g. set 100%= whole Trade NO SET FOR STOP LOST) How you lose all of your invested money when the Tesla is not bankrupted! or about the silver, I think It never loses the whole value in market? can anyone explain it to me?
Word of advice for etoro newbies: Every investment choice should be made based on the risk involved for the individual, their investment goals and strategies. What is right for one investor may not be for another like in the case of Copy Trading. Keep these basic differences and similarities in mind as you research your investments. Money is hard to lose these pandemic times.
if there were different DEFI leverage protocols like WOWswap and DYDX when I started trading before, I wouldn't have even looked towards Binance and Bitmex Which I advise you to do as well. You can effectively, use leverage. Shorts and stuff without KYC and the risk of your account just getting blocked
Gr8 video...thanks...leverage of 1:10 (preset) almost wiped me out and the commodity bought was CLOSED within the day (lost $12/barrel). Lost 50% of my equity. Switched to SELL soon after closing the cfd and next day reduced the loss to 25%. The price nose dived... It was a crazy 3 days...🙄

Hey there! That's a really big question, and it's what so many people are trying to figure out... Myself included! I think it all seems to depend on how much risk individuals are willing to take. No matter what your risk appetite, there's an asset out there which will match it... A lot of the real heavyweights in investing seem to go for bonds, or long term blue chip companies with solid dividends... Others go for the tech companies - the 'growth' stocks which they see as becoming ever more dominant over time. Some people use precious metals or cryptos as hedges, and within cryptos, there's now a booming NFT market, and Decentralised finance is seen by many as an alternative to the current system... There's just so much to potentially invest in that I wouldn't know where to start in answering that really :) Then there's the housing markets, or actually buying physical land, including farmland (which is what some of the biggest investors in the world seem to be doing...). I'm trying a bit of everything and seeing what works and what I'm comfortable with, but since funds are limited, I invest in some more than others :)
Excellent and really helpful video, as I was wandering and loosing money just because of this Leverage, and didn't have answer if we could control this. You are my Mentor now for trading on Etoro 🙏
Great explanation! However, this amplifies my concerns related to trading with leverage, especially on eToro. Their default trading, whenever I want to open a trade, is set on X5 leverage, which for an inexperienced trader would easily fool you into thinking you are simply buying the real stock without even knowing there is a leverage behind and you could lose your money so much faster. I believe eToro set X5 leverage on default as on this makes them the most money out of inexperienced traders. Anyone else experienced this?
there are these little fees called overnight and weekend fees when you're using leverage. When you open the trade, it'll show you at the bottom how much the overnight and weekend fees will be before you start the trade. There's no 1-off monthly fee or anything, it's just a small fee daily for as long as you hold the trade open.
THANK YOU FOR THIS HELPFUL INFORMATION VIDEO. I HAVE LEARN A LOT ABOUT TRADING. FEAR AND GREED is the best word i've learn same as the book i read "RICH DAD POOR DAD"
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 only thing that sucks about leverage trading especially if you set a shallow stop loss is during high volume and volatility you can get stopped out of a 30% winning long. Ive had trade that had 3k in profit get stopped out when mark price dropped under my stop loss for 1 min b4 it rocketed up to what would have been a 50% take profit mark with 6k profit. AHHHHHH! Lesson learned. Now I utilize trailing stop loss when available. So far so good. I will know at the end of the year when I crunch numbers and see if it has been efficient or not. Quite possibly I could be just slowly chipping away at overall gains try to prevent a few rare occurrences. Lol
Hello I have this question. ¿Does ETORO take the leverage on your operation for your total leverage? I mean, if you have a trade of 100 and you use X5; the total amount of your position will be 500? And in that case, if you have an account of 2000 USD, ETORO take that position as 20% of you total account? So you won´t be able to become popular investor? Thanks in advance for your response.
That's a really really good question, and to be honest, I'm not sure! You'd still have $1900 in your account though, so I'm not sure how the system would reconcile the maths there. How would it be able to say you've used 25% of your account on 1 trade, yet still have 95% of your account left in your available balance... I'd ask eToro directly, but I have a feeling the 95% of your account left as available balance would be the most important stat there.
Great explanation. So, hypothetically i invest 100 dolars in amazon using 5x leverage. Now, lets say the price moves down by 20% and i loose not 20 but the full amount. What happens next because technically you are down to zero. What if the price will go another 3%(so 23% which means that i am down more than 100 ). What happens in this case? Will the trade close automatically once you down to zero? Because if that's the case, then with 5x leverage you loose everything once the price is 20% or lower. In other words even if you want to keep the trade open, it closes automatically if hits -20%
The price can blow past our stop losses, and as far as I'm aware, the negative balance protection from eToro is still in place so that we can't end up owing them money (as far as I'm aware!) th-cam.com/video/DiyrklP6ekM/w-d-xo.html - When can stop losses be over-run? th-cam.com/video/A1iTColkAck/w-d-xo.html - Can we lose more than our account size?
Hi there :) You can potentially lose more than your stop loss, yeah, due to being leveraged and something called a'gap down' in the market - I made a video about that. th-cam.com/video/DiyrklP6ekM/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=SocialTradingVlog And this one's about what happens if the gap down is so severe we stand to lose more than the money we added to our account: th-cam.com/video/A1iTColkAck/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=SocialTradingVlog
When you say that many people wipe out their accounts by using leverage, do they only lose their funds or do they have to also pay back the extra that they lost?
Maybe a stupid question, but I am new to investing. If you’re using the copy trader function and they make trades using leverage, will Stop Losses protect you against losing more capital than that initial Stop Loss limit?
The stop loss feature is there to stop you losing more than you want to, yes, although there are instances when your losses can exceed even the stop losses you set… I made some vids about it. I’ll try to find them
Thanks for the information Say I used x5 leverage and invested $500 And I lost all. This means my loss would be $2,500. How would etoro recover the $2k since i only had $500
You're playing with $500 so you can lose only $500. After being down this $500, platform will automatically close all of your positions. eToro is a UK company and UK follows EU law in regard to e-trading. According to the EU law you cannot go bellow zero.
Yep, what was said above. Using X5 leverage will only amplify the speed at which you make or lose money, but it will cut off your trade if you reach the $500 loss. I'm not sure how strict the 'negative balance protection' is, but they do state that they provide it on their site. Barring any strange events, it should cut you off at -500.
Hey guys, so i've started using eToro - i notice on my virtual profile, even though i have selected x1 leverage for all my testing stocks - they all have CFD next to them.. @11:08 in your video your x1 leverage did not have CFD label. What am i not understanding here? Thanks
im still so confused. i tried leverage trading out on kraken. bought 100 dollars of xrp at 5x leverage. its up 7% says i made a profit of 7 dollars.... shouldnt it be 7% 7 dollars x 5 so 35 dollar profit...
Easiest to apply the multiplication to the units bought and then work out the profit from there I think... I'm not sure how things work on Kraken though really - I signed up for it years ago, but haven't really had any experience with it. Especially not with trading using leverage. Sorry I can't be of more help... On eToro, when you make a trade using leverage, you can see the 'units' change as you apply leverage to the trade in the little pop up box you see when you're setting up your trade. If you were going to buy 1 unit of Apple stock whilst using no leverage (X1), then as soon as you click the X5 button to apply times-five leverage, you see that you're now buying 5 units instead of 1. From there, I find it much easier to work out the profit I'm meant to be making.
@@SocialTrading hey bud. Thanks for the response. I figured it out. My mistake. When I selected 100 dollars at 5x leverage I thought I was putting out 100 and playing with 500 bucks. But its the opposite. I select 100. So im playing with 100 but the 5x subtracts so its only costing me 20. Backwards from what I thought
@@SocialTrading buddy I'll be much glad to get textyou privatly to know more strategy on copy trade I get real questions on many stuff am confuse about as a beginner 🙏
Fantastic mate! LOVE your down to earth style. Ive watched some vids and theres a lot of talking but not much content. This channel, so far, in my very limited experience, is proving very useful.
@@SocialTrading Im watching your vids and just opened a demo account. Would you suggest I just use 500 of virtual money (min trade) and invest in a stock? What kind of stock do you suggest (for future ref also) and what kind of return would I likely see and over what time period using no leverage?
Something I dont understand about leverage is, it is borrowed money? How can I spend £100 then leverage 5x and have it be worth £500? It sounds like it's money out of thin air.
Great video. Question - if your trade amount was 500 with a TP of +250 and a SL of -250, would selecting 'x5' leverage also increase my TP and SL amount by 5 times (I.e. TP +1250 and SL -1250) so essentially the target price level for the stock doesn't change but I stand to gain (or lose) more money? I'm guessing the answer is no as you could lose in excess of your account balance and it would just be an increase to the trade amount so I would reach my +/ 250 TP or SL a lot quicker? Hope that makes sense!
Hey Will, yeah, as far as I know, it just means you'll be multiplying the units you're buying by X5, so you'd reach your TP or SL quicker, but the TP or SL would be whatever you had previously assigned.
It adds to risk hugely when you're new, and does incurr overnight and weekend fees... Some assets always have overnight and weekend fees. Others only icurr them when you're 'selling' (hoping to make money as the price goes down) and asset, or using leverage. You can find the full list on the eToro fees page...
🤔Why we need leverage? Why can’t we just add more money (eg double amount for X2 leverage, 5 times amount for X5 leverage etc.)? How it makes difference adding money from increasing leverage?
Hi there - they had something called a 'stock split' which was designed to make shares much cheaper and encourage more people to buy into the stock. You can read about it here: www.fool.com/investing/2022/06/17/amazon-stock-split-why-it-matters/#:~:text=A%2020%2Dfor%2D1%20split&text=That%20means%20investors%20holding%20one,the%20days%20following%20the%20split.
Would u say that leverage is not advisable for buy and hold stocks coz of the overnight /weekend fees. Leverage works best for short term trading. Pls correct me if otherwise
Very informative, recently started looking into trading and honestly the amount of information and how it's displayed can be just baffling... Brilliant video, really well done. Definitely looking at more of your videos, they're great :)
I traded with CFD on etoro but my losses does not reflect on my account, it means I did not actually lose any money? Could you please tell me what happened?
LOL yesterday I made a gold trade with 30x leverage, i wasnt even aware it was set to 30....I made 100euro in a day by accident. good thing I saw this video pop-up after I was amazed (and stopped the trade right away when i realised) lol!
If you purchased shares in a company, and THEN the stock became leveraged, does this all still apply to the previously purchased shares? I’m currently invested in some crude oil and it became leveraged around a couple weeks ago.
"leverage trading" From experience - sure use it, but not beyond 2x! It took me about 7 years to get my money back from beginner mistakes utilising high leverage - read 50 -100x leverage. It's exciting, but personally I lost cash. It didn't effect my standard of life, but I regret it. Just don't do it as a beginner.

Will the trade close automatically once you down to zero? Because if that's the case, then with 5x leverage you loose everything once the price is 20% or lower. In other words even if you want to keep the trade open, it closes automatically if hits -20%
This is fantastic advice for me as a new user and so easy and clear to understand. Thanks :)
Thanks Raymond :) Really appreciate it!
Is the stop loss guaranteed and is there a cut off so we don't go negative?
The price can blow past our stop losses, and as far as I'm aware, the negative balance protection from eToro is still in place so that we can't end up owing them money (as far as I'm aware!)

this is the only tutorial about trading which doesnt makes me close the video due to complex terms being used'
great job mate
Thank you :)
Could you tell me if I would invest in dividend stocks with leverage do I get also get leveraged dividends?
Thanks for this! Can I lose more than my stop loss? Or is my stop loss the most I will lose from a leverage trade?
Hi there :) You can potentially lose more than your stop loss, yeah, due to being leveraged and something called a'gap down' in the market - I made a video about that.
th-cam.com/video/DiyrklP6ekM/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=SocialTradingVlog
And this one's about what happens if the gap down is so severe we stand to lose more than the money we added to our account:

thanks but WHY are you allowed to trade as if you have more than what you actually have - is the exchange betting against you?
Thanks for explaining this so well, glad I found this.
When you say that many people wipe out their accounts by using leverage, do they only lose their funds or do they have to also pay back the extra that they lost?
Maybe a stupid question, but I am new to investing. If you’re using the copy trader function and they make trades using leverage, will Stop Losses protect you against losing more capital than that initial Stop Loss limit?
The stop loss feature is there to stop you losing more than you want to, yes, although there are instances when your losses can exceed even the stop losses you set… I made some vids about it. I’ll try to find them

how do u actually lose money with leverage without panicking and selling. is there an automatic selloff at some point?
From the stop loss
Glad I stumbled on this Chanel
Thanks!
Thanks for the information
Say I used x5 leverage and invested $500
And I lost all. This means my loss would be $2,500.
How would etoro recover the $2k since i only had $500
You're playing with $500 so you can lose only $500. After being down this $500, platform will automatically close all of your positions.
eToro is a UK company and UK follows EU law in regard to e-trading. According to the EU law you cannot go bellow zero.
Yep, what was said above. Using X5 leverage will only amplify the speed at which you make or lose money, but it will cut off your trade if you reach the $500 loss. I'm not sure how strict the 'negative balance protection' is, but they do state that they provide it on their site. Barring any strange events, it should cut you off at -500.
Hey guys, so i've started using eToro - i notice on my virtual profile, even though i have selected x1 leverage for all my testing stocks - they all have CFD next to them.. @11:08 in your video your x1 leverage did not have CFD label. What am i not understanding here? Thanks
How do I switch between sell and buy in the same trade without opening a new trade on etoro?
I'm not sure I understand what you mean there... Sorry for such a late response :) you probably know pretty much everything by now!
What the difference between CFD and spread betting.
This is the video i was looking for! Thank you sir
Glad it helped! :)
Superb video for beginners like me. Thanks !
thank you :)
im still so confused. i tried leverage trading out on kraken. bought 100 dollars of xrp at 5x leverage. its up 7% says i made a profit of 7 dollars.... shouldnt it be 7% 7 dollars x 5 so 35 dollar profit...
Easiest to apply the multiplication to the units bought and then work out the profit from there I think... I'm not sure how things work on Kraken though really - I signed up for it years ago, but haven't really had any experience with it. Especially not with trading using leverage. Sorry I can't be of more help... On eToro, when you make a trade using leverage, you can see the 'units' change as you apply leverage to the trade in the little pop up box you see when you're setting up your trade. If you were going to buy 1 unit of Apple stock whilst using no leverage (X1), then as soon as you click the X5 button to apply times-five leverage, you see that you're now buying 5 units instead of 1. From there, I find it much easier to work out the profit I'm meant to be making.
@@SocialTrading hey bud. Thanks for the response. I figured it out. My mistake. When I selected 100 dollars at 5x leverage I thought I was putting out 100 and playing with 500 bucks. But its the opposite. I select 100. So im playing with 100 but the 5x subtracts so its only costing me 20. Backwards from what I thought
Bro I enjoy your vidoe exactly what I'm searching for you release for free, wow bro you're so amazing
You just got a follow from me kudos
thanks a lot :)
@@SocialTrading buddy I'll be much glad to get textyou privatly to know more strategy on copy trade I get real questions on many stuff am confuse about as a beginner 🙏
very good, I learned and enjoyed listening to your video
Thanks Katrina :)
how come I dont have a leverage option?
trading looking so easy in your hands) but when you doing it by yourself it's a pretty tough))
I’m only ever copytrading, so it’s always in other peoples hands to a large degree :)
Fantastic mate! LOVE your down to earth style. Ive watched some vids and theres a lot of talking but not much content. This channel, so far, in my very limited experience, is proving very useful.
Kind of you to say - cheers :)
@@SocialTrading Im watching your vids and just opened a demo account. Would you suggest I just use 500 of virtual money (min trade) and invest in a stock? What kind of stock do you suggest (for future ref also) and what kind of return would I likely see and over what time period using no leverage?
Something I dont understand about leverage is, it is borrowed money? How can I spend £100 then leverage 5x and have it be worth £500? It sounds like it's money out of thin air.
Great video. Question - if your trade amount was 500 with a TP of +250 and a SL of -250, would selecting 'x5' leverage also increase my TP and SL amount by 5 times (I.e. TP +1250 and SL -1250) so essentially the target price level for the stock doesn't change but I stand to gain (or lose) more money? I'm guessing the answer is no as you could lose in excess of your account balance and it would just be an increase to the trade amount so I would reach my +/ 250 TP or SL a lot quicker? Hope that makes sense!
Hey Will, yeah, as far as I know, it just means you'll be multiplying the units you're buying by X5, so you'd reach your TP or SL quicker, but the TP or SL would be whatever you had previously assigned.
Social Trading Vlog Thanks very much!
you explain stuff so well!! Thanks super easy to follow
Thanks a lot Ruth :)
Trading with leverage is rewarding I often make money using it
FINALLY! SOMEBODY WHO CAN EFFECTIVELY BREAK DOWN WHAT LEVERAGE IS!!! Thank you :)
Glad I could help :) I appreciate it
Cool. I'm so careful not to click x2 or x5 or x100, lol. Won't it be loaning from eToro?
It adds to risk hugely when you're new, and does incurr overnight and weekend fees... Some assets always have overnight and weekend fees. Others only icurr them when you're 'selling' (hoping to make money as the price goes down) and asset, or using leverage. You can find the full list on the eToro fees page...
🤔Why we need leverage? Why can’t we just add more money (eg double amount for X2 leverage, 5 times amount for X5 leverage etc.)? How it makes difference adding money from increasing leverage?
question, 4 years ago the amazon stock price was $1758 ? i was checking now and the all time high never exceeded $190 ?!
Hi there - they had something called a 'stock split' which was designed to make shares much cheaper and encourage more people to buy into the stock. You can read about it here: www.fool.com/investing/2022/06/17/amazon-stock-split-why-it-matters/#:~:text=A%2020%2Dfor%2D1%20split&text=That%20means%20investors%20holding%20one,the%20days%20following%20the%20split.
You , Simon Cowell looking fella , you speak the truth . kudos
Thanks :)
Would u say that leverage is not advisable for buy and hold stocks coz of the overnight /weekend fees. Leverage works best for short term trading. Pls correct me if otherwise
Very informative, recently started looking into trading and honestly the amount of information and how it's displayed can be just baffling... Brilliant video, really well done. Definitely looking at more of your videos, they're great :)
Cheers Adam :) Much appreciated
I traded with CFD on etoro but my losses does not reflect on my account, it means I did not actually lose any money? Could you please tell me what happened?
LOL yesterday I made a gold trade with 30x leverage, i wasnt even aware it was set to 30....I made 100euro in a day by accident. good thing I saw this video pop-up after I was amazed (and stopped the trade right away when i realised) lol!
If you purchased shares in a company, and THEN the stock became leveraged, does this all still apply to the previously purchased shares?
I’m currently invested in some crude oil and it became leveraged around a couple weeks ago.
"leverage trading" From experience - sure use it, but not beyond 2x! It took me about 7 years to get my money back from beginner mistakes utilising high leverage - read 50 -100x leverage. It's exciting, but personally I lost cash. It didn't effect my standard of life, but I regret it. Just don't do it as a beginner.
thanks
