Buying Shiba Inu in eToro

Since we have deposited some money into our account, we can use the money in our eToro account to buy any asset in the eToro platform. All asset prices in the eToro platform are the same as the global trading markets prices. Let’s see how to buy Shiba Inu in eToro.

1. Click on the ‘search eToro‘ tab on top of your homepage and search Shiba Inu. 
2. When the token appears, click on SHIBXM, then click ‘Trade.‘ Most times, SHIBXM will represent the Shiba. 
3. A pop-up will open for you to either buy or sell the Shiba Inu. 

You buy when you think the value of Shiba will rise from its current price, and you sell when you think the value of an asset will drop.

Since we want to buy the Shiba Inu, we will use the buy toggle button. Also, we will set the dollar amount of Shiba Inu we want to invest in. The minimum amount you can put behind an asset is $25.

Once we buy the Shiba, it will be displayed in our eToro Portfolio along with every other asset we will trade.

Setting Up Stop Losses(SL) and Take Profits(Tp)

Now we have traded in some Shiba Inu. Let’s learn about the ‘Stop Losses,’ and the ‘Take Profits.’

Stop losses are used to prevent you from making more losses when the trade is going against you. It’s the amount of money you are willing to risk for a trade.

If you decide to sell Shiba at a market price of $0.00003073 and the price starts going up, you are making a loss. To prevent this, you might put a stop loss at $0.00003100 so that when the price reaches the stop loss, it cancels the order and prevents you from making more losses.

Take Profits are the prices you want to close your profitable trades. If you buy Shiba at $0.00003073, you might decide to put your take profit at the all-time high, $0.00003201. When the price hits this, it will automatically close your order.
