eToro

eToro is like a big global marketplace for people who want to trade. It has been around since 2007 and serves folks in over 140 countries. It’s great for both the pros who know their stuff and newcomers who are just starting out. They even have a practice account for beginners and ways for people to earn without doing much. Sometimes, though, things don’t work out, or people just change their minds. Traders Union has got you covered with a guide on how to close eToro account the right way.

Comparing eToro account options

eToro offers trading conditions that many find appealing due to its unique features. Initially, traders need to deposit $200, but after that, they can top up with as little as $50. If you’re looking to mimic another trader’s moves, you’ll need a minimum of $500. The smallest amount you can copy from another trader ranges from $1 to $2. The leverage they offer aligns with European regulatory standards.

eToro essentially provides two main account types: a practice (demo) account and a standard trading account. Both are set up for direct trades or for copying others. Occasionally, there’s an option for a distinct shares account, especially when engaging with US stock markets.

For those leaning towards hands-off investing and keen on building smart investment strategies, eToro stands out as a go-to platform. TU’s analysts recognize its potential for those focusing on passive investment methods.

Closing your eToro account made it easy

According to Traders Union experts, shutting down your eToro account is straightforward. Here’s how you can do it:

  • Online: Log in, head to settings, choose “Account”, and click “Close your eToro account”. State your reason, then hit “Continue”.
  • Email: Send a request titled “Account deletion request” to Pa******@***ro.com, explaining why you want out.
  • Phone: Call support at 1-888-271-8365, and they’ll guide you through.

Remember, once closed, you can’t reopen that account. You’d need a new email and username to register again.

Why do people close their eToro accounts?

TU’s analysts have highlighted several reasons why individuals decide to close their eToro accounts:

  • experiencing losses because of high leverage or not mastering risk management;
  • finding the trading platform challenging to navigate;
  • slow withdrawal processes;
  • trading not going as hoped;
  • missing desired trading instruments on the platform;
  • receiving too many unwanted emails or notifications.

In the past, users had to reach out to client support to close their accounts. Now, the process is more streamlined, but always ensure you’ve withdrawn all your money first.

Steps to cash out your money

Ensure the amount you wish to take out is available in your balance. To withdraw, follow these steps:

  1. On the left menu, click “Withdraw Funds”.
  2. Input the amount you want to withdraw.
  3. Click on “Continue”.
  4. Choose the currency for withdrawal.
  5. Check the pre-selected payment method. If it doesn’t suit you, opt for “Other Payment Options”.
  6. Click “Submit”.

For any queries about withdrawing funds or closing your account, eToro’s support team is there to assist.

Conclusion

In summary, eToro has cemented its place as a top trading platform since its inception in 2007, catering to both experienced traders and beginners alike. With unique features and varied account options, it offers a wide spectrum of trading opportunities. However, if for any reason you decide to part ways with eToro, the process is now more user-friendly than ever. Whether you choose to close your account online, via email, or over the phone, it’s essential to ensure all funds are withdrawn. As always, for any trading decisions or processes, it’s wise to consult platforms like Traders Union or reach out to eToro’s dedicated support team for guidance.

The Naira recorded a marginal gain of 43 Kobo or 0.03 per cent against the United States Dollar on Wednesday, June 25, in the Nigerian Autonomous Foreign Exchange Market (NAFEX) to sell for N1,380.11/$1 compared with the previous day’s N1,380.54/$1.

However, the Nigerian currency lost N3.21 against the Pound Sterling in the official market during the session to close at N1,818.84/£1, in contrast to Wednesday’s exchange rate of N1,815.63/£1, and against the Euro, it fell by N3.21 to trade at N1,566.84/€1 versus midweek’s value of N1,563.63/€1.

In the same vein, the Nigerian Naira depreciated against the Dollar at the GTBank FX deck yesterday by N3 to sell for N1,383/$1 compared with the preceding session’s value of N1,380/$1, and at the black market window, it remained unchanged at N1,395/$1.

Interbank FX turnover at the NFEM window surged by about 56 per cent day-on-day to close at $195.371 million from $125.588 million reported on Wednesday, according to data from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

The Naira continues to feel the impact of rising FX payments and a strong US Dollar amid a sharp slowdown in forex market interventions by the central bank, with more than six weeks of no support for the local currency.

Nigeria’s foreign reserves increased further to $51.142 billion, while oil prices continue to be held in the $70 range by developments in the geopolitical scene.

About 148,500 traders were wiped out. The largest single position was a $38 million bitcoin-dollar bet on Hyperliquid.
