Actually, I started forex trading in 2009 with etoro. Made some money, lost some money. As a forex trader, you have many limitations in etoro. Their charts are hell. Platform hangs as hell. Dont think about money management there. Withdrawal is 5 days and you will also have to pay withdrawal fee.. lol..
Good points are, they have chat function where traders can chat. Then, openbook and copytrader things.
Whatever they do, I will suggest people to stay away from them if you want to become a good forex trader.
MetaTrader is the platform you should look for.
btw, I am promoting etoro as an affiliate.. lol..
