Copy Trading

Copy Trading

The greatest innovation for which it is famous eToro platform, is copy trading (social trading), i.e. the ability to automatically copy the movements of other traders. The process itself is very simple and allows you to start your investment adventure without any experience, relying on the skills of others.

Copy Trading Etoro

Copy trading also works the other way around. If we record satisfactory results of our investments, we ourselves can also be copied by other investors, thus maximizing the results of our activities.

However, we cannot equate copy trading with a recipe for easy and quick profits. Each investment involves risk, and the presented historical results do not guarantee their repetition in the future.

You can learn more about social trading in the section Social Trading


Popular Investor Program

People who want to start earning extra money by sharing their games with others can participate in the program Popular Investor. eToro has ranked four levels of people experience:

  • Cadet,
  • Master,
  • Elite,
  • Elite Pro.

To get started we need to:

  1. Set up an account on eToro.
  2. Deposit a minimum of $ 1000 (Cadet Level).
  3. Complete our profile with your name and surname (in privacy settings), insert a photo and biographical note with a minimum length of 150 characters
  4. Trade for a minimum of two months.
  5. Maintain your maximum Risk Score of 6 or lower in the last six months and of 7 or lower in the last twelve months (as assessed by eToro's algorithm).
  6. Observe leverage limitations .
  7. Create a community that will attract followers (minimum $ 500 per "Management").
  8. Publish your analysis and strategy posts on a regular basis.

To be promoted to a higher level, you must meet the conditions set by eToro. And it looks like this:

Cadet starts with a minimum deposit of $ 1000 and at least one person copying our games. To go to level two - Master - a minimum of 4 months of consistent and effective trading with 10 followers is needed, which must additionally be positively assessed by the eToro algorithm. Also required is the pooled copying capital of $ 50. Sounds a lot? At this level, we receive from the broker from $ 000 to $ 400 an additional bonus - every month. In the case of the Elite i Elite Pro additional formal requirements are already met, but at the same time our bonus is growing, which is from 1,5% to 2,5% of the total capital under "management" per year.
