eToro

rate: 4.00

The Forex market is growing and with it, so is the number of Forex brokers. However, there are some names you will always hear mentioned among the market's leading brokers. Some of these leading brokers offer the most advanced trading platforms, others the best customer service, and then there are a few brokers that offer the best all around experience for their customers. eToro is one of those brokers.

It is very clear when examining every aspect of the Etoro experience that they had the end user in mind. Their website is clear and easy to use. All the information a trader would have to go digging for on most other broker sites is right there in front of your eyes when first accessing Etoro.com.

Etoro is known primarily for their trading platform, which focuses on simplifying the trading experience. Etoro developed a revolutionary platform that creates a user friendly visualization of the trading arena in the platform's beginner mode, and an ultra innovative interface for expert traders as well.

The Expert mode includes one click trading enabling traders to activate trades in one simple click on the requested currency. The Expert mode also includes trade history, charts, and the ability to manage trading orders. You can also read the latest Forex news and view an updated calendar of the latest market events. All this from within the platform itself.

Etoro offers their platform in a downloadable format as well as a Web based environment, which allows flexibility for traders with different needs.

Funding your Etoro account is consistent with the trading experience, ie it is simple and user friendly. You can fund your account using the standard credit card, wire transfer, Paypal, Neteller, Western Union, MoneyGram, and Webmoney.

Etoro supports all the major currency pairs with a spread of as low as 2 pips for the majors. You can also use the Etoro practice account before trading real money and with one click, begin the actual trading with as low as a $50 initial investment. The maximum leverage Etoro support is 400:1, which is the highest I have come across with any Forex broker. In addition, Etoro allows you to trade with a few different base currencies in addition to the US dollar.

Etoro also offers a commission free trading experience, as well as all the important features found in most trading platforms such as Stop Loss, Take Profit, and much more. There is also support for various commodities, and a top notch customer support infrastructure. In addition, Etoro focuses a lot of energy on their community with advanced social features found in both the trading platform and Etoro's websites. Some of these features include chat, forums, a designated Forex blog, a top traders insight, as well as various trading contests between Etoro members.

In summary, Etoro has made a name for itself with its game like beginner platform, but there is a lot more to Etoro than what people know. Their all around service is par excellence and their trading tools help make Etoro into one of the top brokers in the overpopulated space of Forex brokers.

	Dr Shaun Hutchinson 1 I have started using eToro now for about 3 weeks. I have never traded before and never used any other brokers. All I can say based on my experience with eToro and from what I have read online, is that I am glad that I am using eToro. I can see why World Finance Magazine voted them most innovative trading platform in 2010. I have only one issue with their platform, and that is their charting functions. So I use Metatrader 4 instead. Besides I think using independent charting helps to keep tabs on eToro and act as a control so to speak. Otherwise I do think eToro is doing a brilliant job, and I have no complaints.

	pitbull3 1 I don't know what you're talking about, I've been trading with eToro for a long time now and it's excellent, the software, the execution, the service everything. sounds like someone can't handle a few losses.

	tom 1 I lost few goods positions (crashing when changing stop loss or freezing (too) long seconds to validate an action ...) Theirs servers are slow, we know it, they know it. But the application should manage that. I mean a server not responding is one thing, but an application that crashed because server is not responding is another thing. Even more for forex trading. But this interface is a nice effort ! And i'm sure that developers are working on that timeout prob, at less it's what i would work on.

	Vinith 1 After discussing the issue with my account manager at eToro, I came to the conclusion that it was all a misunderstanding. eToro's support checked what I sent them and showed me that a part of it was due to technical problems on their side and a part was because of my side. eToro took responisibility for the technical problems on their side and compensated me for the amount that was lost because of the technical issues. I thank my account manager for his help on this one and I have to say my impression of eToro improved because of this story. I saw that their support department is helpful and together we solved the issue, however, not as quick as I expected. I would say after all this, eToro was willing to help, for which I will continue trading with them. PS: Jack Daniels, I get the impression you are from eToro. Anyway, either if you are or if you aren't, please dont take a whack at anyone and reply like that. If you have any honest review about eToro, do that without calling others names. DONT EVER talk to somebody like that. All are humans, and everyone has freedom of speech without hurting an individual.

	Jack Daniels 1 that's bulls##it man, you probably lost some money on trades and now you're trying to blame them. if the progrma is stuck, what good will it do you to stay glued to the screen? that won't help! you probably went against the direction and lost everything, take responsibility for your trades and don't try and blame the platform...
