Trade on the go with eToro Mobile

The eToro social trading network is a dynamic and energetic trading environment where new trading ideas are being generated every second. Through the use of innovative social trading tools, its nearly 2 million members generate live trading feeds, follow and copy each other’s trading activities and participate in enriching discussions on each other’s discussion boards. And thanks to eToro’s simplified online trading platform, equipped with state of the art charting software, thousands of new traders enter the financial markets every day.
It seems a shame to miss out on all this action just because you’re in transit, and now eToro Mobile makes it so you don’t have to miss a beat on your favorite investment network. With eToro’s free to download mobile apps for Android you can keep up with latest market trends, stay connected with the top performing traders on OpenBook, and manage your positions on the go from your smart phone or tablet.
The first of these apps is the eToro Mobile Trader. This app, which you can download for free on the Android market, has all the functionality of the eToro WebTrader and OpenBook in one easy to use interface. It most important function is to enable you to access your trading account, where you can manage open positions and open new traders or orders. To help you make informed trading decisions, the Mobile Trader app also provides you with live updated charts and a financial news feed, so you can check the news, see the trades develop in the market accordingly and then open your positions. And for a bit of perspective you also have the option of viewing your account summary and your trading history.
Last but not least, you can click on the OpenBook icon at the bottom of the screen to view a live feed of OpenBook activity, including who bought what, who sold what and who copied whom. Not only that, you don’t even have to wait till you get back to your computer in order to put this information to use. Just tap on the “Copy” button below the social trading feed item. You will then be prompted to the trade parameters screen where all you have to do is set the trade amount and open the copied trade!
However, if you’re still not sure what currency/commodity/index to buy or sell, head to the Android Market and download the eToro Trade Alerts app. Once installed, this little free app will start sending reliable trading signals to your mobile phone or tablet which you can then implement in your account.
The Trade Alerts signal generating system has been developed by eToro’s team of market experts. The Trade Alerts market model seeks out historical trend patterns in the live market rates and produces signal propositions which are then checked by our experts for reliability. Each signal gives you the entry point for the specific instrument, as well as the Stop Loss and Take Profit settings that you should apply. When you receive an alert you can also tap it to view a more detailed overview of the market conditions and technical indicators that have prompted the alert, so you never have to trade in the dark.
The other great advantage of the Trade Alerts app, which you won’t find in any other signal service, is that among other things it provides you with a social insight for each alert you receive, thanks to the Social Cherry feature appearing at the bottom of the screen. All you have to do is tap on the Cherry icon to open the Social Cherry bar which will then give you a summary of the “social buzz” around this particular alert. That buzz includes the amount of traders viewing the alert and the number of people who’ve actually used this alert to open a trade.  By seeing how your peers reacted to this opportunity and to taking this information into account you can make a more educated trading decision. You can even see how many people “liked” a specific alert and read their comments on it,  or “like” and comment on an alert yourself in order to share your opinion, solicit advice and see what other users are saying about this trading opportunity.
With this suite of mobile trading technology you are bound to take your trading experience to the next level.

eToro: on the cutting edge of Social Trading

Just over one year ago, when eToro launched its groundbreaking OpenBook platform, many people dismissed social trading as a farfetched idea that would never catch on. Now, when social trading has become an established, if not the leading mode of trading, those same skeptics find themselves asking how they ever traded outside the framework of a social investment network.
And indeed, social trading has opened up many doors that were previously closed to non-professional retail traders, and even created some new ones in the process. Thanks to the eToro OpenBook traders can share information easily, through automated live trading feeds that make the entire investment community transparent, which means that any ideas generated by the community is up for grabs for everyone.
However, unlike other social trading networks, eToro’s brand of social trading is not only about sharing information, but also about putting it to practical use. With the groundbreaking CopyTrader feature, traders can implement the trading skills of expert traders, or “Gurus” as they’re known in the OpenBook community, to their own portfolio. All you have to do is find the Guru you want to copy, select the percentage of funds you want to dedicate to copying that particular Guru, then sit back and watch your copied positions make their way in the markets.
The best thing about CopyTrader is that unlike any other automated trading mechanism it enables you to retain full control over your account. Don’t like a certain copied trade? You’re free to close it at any time. Don’t like the way your Guru trades? You’re free to stop copying him/her whenever you choose. Sounds simple, but this one little feature has brought about an entire new mode of investment called “people based” portfolios, wherein instead of investing in the unpredictable markets you invest in a much more predictable variable, which is the Guru’s trading ability.
Your next question is, how can I find the Guru for me? Well, the eToro OpenBook has made that pretty simple too, with the brand new “Guru Finder” feature. Just enter your criteria in the many parameters at your disposal, such as win/loss ratio, average trade duration, risk level, etc., and the Guru Finder will deliver a list answering your criteria exactly. You can then check out the Gurus’ personal profiles to find out more about their performance, their portfolios and their popularity in the OpenBook investment network. The Gurus themselves can also turn their copiers into extra profits through eToro’s Guru Program.
Recently, in light of the tremendous success and growth of the OpenBook social trading network, eToro has made some modification to its famous WebTrader online trading platform in order to accommodate the new social options available to eToro traders. The new WebTrader is even more streamlined and easy to use. The updated interface is simple to navigate and can also be customized according to your personal preferences. For example, you can now collapse and expand the live market rates box to make the specific markets you’re interested in more immediately accessible. In addition, the new rates box now includes a miniature price chart to give you a general idea of the current trend for each instrument, which you can then expand in the WebTrader charting software by clicking on the chart button.
The WebTrader is also automatically synchronized with eToro OpenBook, so any copied trades (manual or automatic) will immediately appear in the “Open Trades” panel in the WebTrader interface, where you will be able to edit them if you wish to do so. Thus, as far as social trading is concerned, no other platform even compares in terms of usability and smart design.
