5. Minimum amount and risk level
Every eToro forex trade needs a volume of at least 10,000 U.S. $. Depending on how much money you want to invest, you have to use a special risk level, so that this volume is reached. Example: You want to invest $ 25. Your risk level must be at least 1:400, in order to reach $ 10,000 volume. With $ 100 a leverage of 1:100 would also be enough. You can enter up to lose the money invested. The trade is automatically closed when the losses become too large. It is an automatic stop loss triggered. For your own protection.
