zuiko079 Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Seems no one has discuss about this broker so i would like to comment on it. For my case, i would say don't every use this broker. Last week for no reasons on christmas eve morning it has a spike of 216 pips on NZD/USD. And the best of it is there was a stop loss of $100 and it can close the trade exceeding the stop loss which causes a negative amount in my account. I have email their support and till now they are still investigating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Re: ETORO Broker Well, I never used theis broke,r but I read many good reviews. The only thing that stopped me is that they do not offer Metatrader platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harisrib Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Re: ETORO Broker I have been with etoro for past 3 months. Before opening an account with them make sure you read all their policies. The mail reasons which i see for blocking the accounts in etoro is 1) scalping is not allowed 2) Their platform hangs quite frequently during news period and prices will be delayed by 2-3 mins atleast. During this time if you take positions they take consider it as arbitrage trading. This is a big concern for many including mine :( I advise only small players to consider this broker.

Best regards, Valeria - eToro. could you explain the Santosh Tiwari incident where you illegally held this poor traders money to the tune of several hundred thousand dollars and he had to go through hell mentally and physically before you released his money many months later and that too you didn't compensate him for the trades he lost to the tune of 70k when you abruptly closed his trades because he was winning constantly. When he wrote about it in the etoro forum you conveniently locked the thread but you can't do that here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eToro Team Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Dear Herman Hess, Santosh Tiwari is one of eToro's all time best traders! He is a self confessed Fan of the eToro platform and is an active trader to date! Moreover, Mr. Tiwari is more than satisfied with the treatment he received from eToro and RetailFX. As we are not in a position to disclose personal details of our traders, we can however, assure you that we are in constant relations with Mr. Tiwari, who doesn’t only trade with us, but is delighted to assist in the QA process in the company. Needless to say that a disappointed trader, like the one you described, would not continue his trading endeavors and constantly volunteering his software knowledge and assistance. Mr. Tiwari and eToro are in more than good terms, thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanhess Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) dear Valeria, you paint a very nice picture but its not exactly how you tell it, I was there when the incident happened and you really did put the poor guy through hell. You froze his accounts on some fictitious pretext, you didnt even allow him to withdraw his money. He writes about it in detail on his blog http://[email protected]/my_blog.html?part_id=10088&post_id=748&action=view_comments http://[email protected]/my_blog.html?part_id=10088&post_id=760&action=view_comments http://[email protected]/my_blog.html?part_id=10088&post_id=770&action=view_comments From his posts its quite clear "how satisified with etoro" he was. In the end because of all the bad publicity and the way it affected ur business you were forced to release his money (many months later i should add) but from my understanding you still haven't compenated him to date the 70k he lost when you suddenly closed his trades and froze his a/c. Yes i know he still has a/c with you but after what i saw happened and the way you treated him I wouldn't trust a cent of my money with you. Others are of course free to do as they wish. Its my duty to mention this because many of the members here are my very good friends, just like my family and we help each other out.

eToro Team Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Dear HermanHess, I do not wish to continue discussing other trader's affairs in a public forum. As you are free to choose where to (or where NOT to) invest your money so are all of our customers. I do not see any reason for someone who is not satisfied with our services to stay in eToro, especially when there are so many brokers and trading platforms out there. I truly believe that the fact that this certain client chooses to keep trading and investing his money in eToro while helping us develop our platform, speaks for itself. We have no interest nor a way to force traders to stay with us. Have a great day! Valeria - eToro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessica_30 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) Whatever the offer might be given by every brokers today, it is still up to us to choose what we think is the best for us. Being a good trader, we can trust our self in choosing broker which is best for us. We can developed good judgement from the reviews that we can find. http://imagicon.info/cat/3-4/1.gifhttp://imagicon.info/cat/3-4a/1.gifhttp://imagicon.info/cat/3-8/1.gifhttp://imagicon.info/cat/3-5/1.gifhttp://imagicon.info/cat/3-1/1.gifhttp://imagicon.info/cat/3-6/1.gifhttp://imagicon.info/cat/3-2/1.gifhttp://imagicon.info/cat/3-3/1.gifhttp://imagicon.info/cat/3-9/1.gif Edited May 14, 2011 by jessica_30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trust040774 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 EToro is definitely the worst scam broker ever. Just look at forexpeacearmy.com review about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blutkehlchen Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) There plattform looks like a cheap video game , there charting software wasnt worth a secound look last time i checked it, they also predifined your stops , at least when i had a demo with them a year back, and they are based in Cyprus( might be in europe but in fact its off shore at its worse) ...

flogger Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 They are good for beginners but not really for experienced ones. You can try their demo account. ____________________ All things are difficult before they are easy. http://imagicon.info/cat/3-4/vmware-grin.gifhttp://imagicon.info/cat/3-4a/vmware-wink.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
