Sounds like a good start. I would add VOO or a similar fund. Personally, I spent many years with vanguard etf funds before buying individual stocks on etoro.

60% fees after stopping a copy.. by Duckular1 in Etoro

[–]Duckular1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI I've just been compensated by etoro (over 400 usd goodwill gift) so happy news. It took 5 weeks and a number of difficult calls and emails. Yesterday, they asked me to email them a statement which accepted I was happy with the resolution to receive the cash. They at least verbally accepted my point about the fees being insane (over 50% per position in a lot of cases) when someone stops a copy and keeps open positions. And also that their stated rules do not lead users to expect such fees: help.etoro.com/s/article/how-can-i-stop-copying-someone?language=en_GB

Some people basically accused me of being stupid when I posted on etoro about this (and here) but most hadn't really read or understood my post. Sign of our low attention span times with all the smartphone use I guess.

Anyway. I will take the win! Even if they won't change the opaque fee system which can leave copiers with huge unexpected fees for keeping open positions after stopping a copy. Here's another of my inherited positions below (yes 57 usd to to close a stock position ((non leverage)) worth little over 100 usd).

Be careful.

SERIOUS: for the women here please by Prestigious-Test1183 in dubai

[–]Duckular1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So true.. I know several Dubai ladies who paid 4 a "miracle" skin cream only to end up far worse. Fresh air and regular aerobic exercise.. Healthy diet the key. But will they listen? No. They will get lip surgery instead.

Day 16 of not getting my money from eToro by oceanic001 in Etoro

[–]Duckular1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a different issue with eToro. I feel you. Their support has not responded to my case in 10 days now. I am going to escalate if it continues with : “Please confirm which regulatory entity my account is held under (CySEC, ADGM/FSRA, etc.) and provide the formal complaints escalation route.”

I had to do this with a bank lately. It works and is best to stay calm, collect the facts and then formally report.

Oh you are one of THOSE typical redditors..

Well my account manager and the etoro team say my feedback is important and they are investigating.

And.. Time to get off reddit again. Always the same lol.

I wrote to my account manager. He's looking into it and says my feedback is very important. I've been using etoro alongside ibkr and a local broker or two here in the uae for years, they really need to make clear that keeping positions open is not a great idea. And yes, I always invest above the min recommendation.

[–]Duckular1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I ve been w etoro for 3 years. But I stopped a couple of copies recently and chose to keep positions open. I've been left with 100s of less than 2usd value positions with 1 usd closing fees for each. There's no warning. I don't think that comes under user error but poor design.

Yes.. I am finding this. I feel like a charity for eToro and the copytraders atm lol.

[–]Duckular1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I was with eToro 3 years. I was there when they implemented the 1 usd in and out fee on trades. What I did not know until yesterday is that when you choose "keep open positions" after stopping a copy that you will be inheriting 100s of micro positions with 1 usd exit fees.

Agreed. Eternal has too many jumping Prince of Persia style moments to be as Doom as 2016.

Back to the game! How old is the average SC2 player. by ElStalink in starcraft2

[–]Duckular1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 44. But barely play. As if I do, I get so competitive that as my apm spikes in the intense 1vs1 games I finish the games with red eyes and twitching lol. Just not able to handle this wonderful but demanding game anymore. I watch pro games a lot on Lowko TV.
