Getting Started with eToro

After you have downloaded our software and are logged in you will see five large icons which represent the various Forex games that eToro offers.

Forex Marathon

First of all select the currency you would like to buy: US Dollar, EUR, etc, (buying a currency means that you think its value will rise). Then you will be given a list of currencies you can compete against, from which you will have to select a currency. Select the amount and place the trade. You will be informed on how many currency pair units you are buying for the amount you placed and at what exchange rate.

Forex Trend

Predict whether you expect the US Dollar to rise or fall against the other currencies. Select ‘RISE’ if you think the US Dollar will increase in value against other currencies or select ‘FALL’ if you believe the US Dollar will decrease in value against other currencies. Select amount and place the trade.

Globe Trader

You can select your currency pairs from the bottom of the screen. Select amount with which you want to trade and you will be notified on the amount of currency pairs and the rate for this trade. Click "Start Trade".

Forex Match

Your currency will compete in a rope pulling contest against another currency. Select currencies and the amount, and if you wish you can set the limit of the maximum amounts that you are willing to gain or lose. Forex Match enables traders to trade based on the principles of Technical analysis.

Trade Box: For advanced Traders

The Trade Box arena disposes with the creative visualizations of the other arenas to present the most professional and flexible trading environment for more experienced traders. While it may be a little overwhelming for a novice trader, it is the arena of choice for the pros.

Here you can open multiple trades, view price movement charts, keep track of all the currencies’ live rates, trade more currency pairs and manage stop loss and take profit orders after the positions are opened.

Championship: Once you’ve joined eToro, you will be directed to the championship section. eToro holds periodic championships, and we encourage you to participate in them as there are many money-prizes to win.

Chat: When you click on the "Chat" tab, you will enter the chat section where you can chat with friends and fellow traders from around the world. You can chat with them privately or publicly.
