 This is how to sell stock on eToro. I've been there before, right? You've got a trade, it's profitable. You want to close the trade or sell the stock and cash in your gains so you can do something else with them. These platforms can be a little bit confusing. That doesn't make sense. So I'm gonna show you how I navigate around them. Hopefully it'll make your life a little bit easier. The first distinction I wanna make is and what will have people confuse if you're just starting out. There is a difference between selling stock and closing a trade, right? So selling stock or short in stock is when you make money as the price of a stock goes down. Closing a trade is closing or selling an existing position that you already have. Yes, that's awesome. So today I'm gonna be talking about closing a trade. A mistake that a lot of beginners will make is if you go onto something that you want to trade, let's just go on Amazon for example, and you open trade, you've got the buy and the sell option here. This sell here, people try and select so they'll go sell and they'll put however much they wanna sell of the position in here. Thinking that it's closing their trade would actually open in a short position which means that they'll make money as the price of Amazon goes down. Oh, now I see, now I get it. What you wanna be doing if you're trying to sell a stock that you already own is close the trade. There's a few different ways that you can do it on desktop, first of all. The first thing you're gonna want to do is navigate to your portfolio. So from the left hand side, you can see portfolio here. This will bring up all your existing trades that you've already got. Then you can close trades from this position but what this portfolio page is showing you is your total hold-in. So for example, if you look at gold, I've actually got about five gold positions. If I click on gold, it'll take me into them. But if I know that I'm just happy to close all of these five positions in one go, then I can click on these three little buttons here and then I can click close all and it'll close all the trades for me. So close all. Once you click on it, you'll get this box pop up and then you just click close all and it will close the trades for you. But if I just wanted to close one of these positions, so if I didn't like this red one, for example, all you do is I would click on the asset that I wanted to trade or close and then I have the option to close just this trade here. So right, so if I click close, it'll take here and then I click close trade to confirm. I don't want to do that. You can also click close here if you want to close all your positions again. What you can also do, if you want to close just a part of the trade and you don't want to close your entire position, so if you've got one position that you want to hold a little bit of the stock still, you can partially close your trades. To do that, you have to be holding more than the minimum position. Minimum stock size on Etoro is $10. So you'd have to be holding more than $10. So let me show you what I mean. So something like Starbucks, for example, my position is $30. If I click close here, I'll get a pop up window and then you see this little box here, I have the option to close only part of the trade. So if I tick this, it will then give me the option to select how much of the trade I want to close and I can even do that in a dollar amount or I can do it in units, which is units of stock. Another thing to think about when you are trying to close positions is the trading hours. The New York Stock Exchange is currently closed. So if I did want to close this Amazon position, so I go here and I click close and if I say close trade, if the market's open, the funds will immediately go into my available cash here. But because the market isn't open, when I hit close trade, it's gonna create a market order, right? And the order will be to sell my stock at the next available time, which will be for me 2.30 p.m. tomorrow afternoon in the UK. This will go under orders in my portfolio here. So as soon as the market opens, it will sell at the next available price. With this, keep in mind, it will not sell it at the current price. The current share price of Amazon is 1.42.90. If the stock is down by 10% tomorrow morning for whatever reason, each order will sell my stock at the new price, which will be 10% lower. The inverse is also true. So if it's 10% higher, it will sell it for the higher price. If you are gonna be closing the trade and you're worried about the price fluctuating in aftermarket hours, make sure you do it while that particular market is open. Knowledge. Good way to check the market. If you go onto the asset, so we'll stick with Amazon, you see this here market closed under the asset. If you click on that, it will take you to Etoro's market hours page. Then you can just have a look and see if there's any reason why the market's closed or when it's gonna be open next, right? And if you set a market order and change your mind, you see that the price has fluctuated too much one way or the other, you can cancel them by going onto orders. You'll see them here and then you just click cancel, cancel order. And then that's done, that'll go away. Another way that you can close trades without having to keep an eye on it and it makes life a little bit easier is by setting take profits and stop losses. So you can do that when you open a trade. If I go here and I go trade, then as I'm opening the trade, I can say what stop loss I want and what take profit I want and then the trade will automatically close at those times. Equally, I can edit the positions. So again, I can change my stop loss and my take profits here and it will automatically close these too.
