Etoro Review – Forex
The eToro platform is a very user-friendly interface that is easy for the beginner to comprehend and navigate. Its visual style is borderline ‘video game’ – a wise move which gives many new traders a sense of familiarity which in turn increases confidence.
Whilst being a professional platform, it appears to have been designed with new traders in mind. It straightforward functionality and easy to access tools enable the learner to spend more time on learning how to trade, and minimal time mastering the software.
Trend charts are easy to read and customise. As to be expected from such a successful broker their software operates in real time, and is available with a demo account to give learners the opportunity to learn the game and hone their trading skills before parting with any cash.
Once you have opened an account you can access online chat and trader forums which act both as a source of knowledge sharing for established traders, and as a ‘trading school’ for newbies.
Etoro like to keep up the fun element with their members through regular activities such as the weekly prize winning trading competitions, and again with an element of the video-gaming there is a list of highest performing users, which apart from the cash element of adds another motivational source of fun. As to be expected there is also access to economic news and other sources of information.
If you are new to Forex trading, it is highly unlikely that you will find a platform that is easier to trade on than Etoro, and when it comes to learning to trade the last thing you want is outdated and complex software. Well done Etoro.
