eToro: quick answers

Does eToro have a free demo account?

Yes — every account includes a free $100,000 virtual portfolio you can switch to at any time. Practice copy trading and manual trades there first.

Is eToro legit and regulated?

Yes — eToro entities are regulated by the FCA, CySEC and ASIC among others. Availability and products vary by country.

How does copy trading on eToro work?

You pick a trader, allocate an amount, and their trades are mirrored in your account proportionally, automatically. Past performance never guarantees future results — check a trader's risk score, not just returns.

What fees does eToro charge?

Mainly spreads on trades, a small fixed withdrawal fee, and an inactivity fee after long dormancy. Real-stock positions (where available) are commission-free in many regions.
