    in the past, I bought ethereum on etoro and at the time it forced you to set a take profit and stop loss. Thankfully, it set it crazy high, for example x10 profit.


    I thought “that won’t happen any time soon anyway, nothing to worry about”. However, then i got a notification that it hit the take profit and auto sold. Great news you’d think, right?


    Nope, because I bought back in straight away so I didn’t miss the next wave of increases AND now I’ve a large tax bill / capital gain since there was a sell :(


    so yeah, be careful if you’re using etoro CFDs and always change the take profit values if you see it increasing lots
