'Short' Selling on Etoro - Make Money as The Price Falls

[@patriciadixon4735]

Thank you for explaining in layman's terms.

[@SocialTrading]

Thanks for watching :)

[@SimoPlays]

That was a brilliant explanation for the "SELL" position. Thank you Sir.

[@SocialTrading]

Thanks a lot sir! :)

[@עדישרון-ה2פ]

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.

[@mateoostojic5869]

Some people just know how to explain things very simple and get to the point. Thanks mate!

[@SocialTrading]

Thanks so much Mateo :)

[@ArJayDM]

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

[@Fera-gr5mm]

Update: Selling is also CFD (regardless of leverage), so they also take some overnight fees on top of the spread fee.

[@armandolirio3321]

Now I know how this short selling works. I have listened to others and no one have explained it better than you. Thank you very much Sir. Cheers!

[@SocialTrading]

Cheers Armando ! :)

[@MALITHA8]

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.

[@SocialTrading]

[@sammyboy9999]

The whole game stop thing makes sense now. thanks

[@abberosales9120]

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😊

[@ROY-pv8so]

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!

[@SocialTrading]

Cheers Roy, hope it all goes really well for you! :)

[@kuhasan]

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

[@SocialTrading]

Thank you :) I was pleased when I understood myself !

Great vid man. Thank you for explaining the mechanics behind sell positions. Had been wondering about that for a while. 👍

[@Kaedo9]

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]

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 ...

[@TheCaliMack]

Jesus, so THAT was what they meant. I was seeing a huge shift but the close vs sell options really had me scratching my head. 😅 Thanks for this!

[@kaka5stars]

Finally someone explain me how the selling works thanks man.

[@SocialTrading]

I was pleased when I worked it out too :) Took a while to work out how to explain it. Thanks!

[@cmmhelmond]

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 ...

[@rizkyadhitya4152]

i cant find a video that gives better explanation, thanks man appreciate it

[@namiboosterhuizen6610]

Finally, someone who explained it in a way I can understand. Thanks

[@SocialTrading]

Thank you :)

[@beardedwonderer]

Perfectly delivered so that even I can understand it. Thank you and keep up the good work.

[@365drills]

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.

[@gabriel9668]

You look like a sincere guy. Thanks

[@ziaurrehman1344]

After a lot of struggled eventually found perfect lesson Thank you so much 🙏

[@styxo5420]

amazing waiting till i get 18years so i can go to the brokers of etoro and try not to fail. Amazing video good explanation

[@tagert1430]

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.

[@SocialTrading]

Isn't it strange how we all visualise things :)

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.

[@SocialTrading]

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

[@SocialTrading]

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...

I would like to thank you for all your great clips. I really like your style of explaining things, awesome job. wonder if you can also make more clips on buying altcoins on binance (optimizing fees & investments)

[@SocialTrading]

Cheers Serge. Yeah, but youtube absolutely stomped on my channel when I made those crypto focused vids so I'll mix them in here and there now. I want to do one on Steemit as that's pretty clever... Thanks for the suggestion ! :) With the fees on Binance, I'd definitely suggest buying a small amount of BNB - Binance's coin and using that option i showed in the video to use that to pay all fees - it halves the fees cost (at least for now)

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 👍

[@SocialTrading]

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 ...

[@moviesjean23]

[@marxcyberian5765]

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?
