eToro CopyTrader investment amount

Deciding on who to copy is a tricky process, but when you do choose the investor that best fits your interests (with the desired risk/return ratios, asset selection, investment horizon and so on), you also need to decide on how much funds to actually allocate to them. The following article provides an overview of several factors to consider in doing so.

(NOTE: Before we continue, we have to give a disclaimer that the trading products offered by the companies listed on this website carry a high level of risk and can result in the loss of all your funds. CFDs are complicated instruments that are never guaranteed to provide you supplemental earnings.  In fact, Around 68% of all retail investors experienced a loss while trading CFDs. Make sure to keep this in mind before attempting to use the eToro platform yourself. All the information found on this website is not official trading advice and all practices shown are referenced for the use of the Demo account only.)


 

Platform regulations

eToro itself provides several rules for copy trading, minimum and maximum copy amounts being some of them.

The minimum amount required to invest into copying a trader is $500. However, this amount may vary depending on the number of trades the investor keeps open, as there is also a minimum amount of 1$ required for each position or otherwise the trade will not be executed for you. For example, if an investor you are copying opens a trade of a size which in proportion to your invested amount is less than 1$ in value, this trade will not happen for you. An example below will explain this better.

The maximum amount one can invest in one trader is as much as 2,000,000$.

Amount required to copy all the trades

The minimum amount of 1$ needed to replicate each trade imposes certain requirements in case you want to copy all of the trades of the chosen Popular Investor, but there is a way for you to calculate the minimum amount required to do so.

First of all you need to determine the percentage size of their smallest trade and assign it a monetary value of 1$; you can do so by clicking on the trader of your choice and sorting the invested amount from smallest to biggest value.

Lets look at the example of the trader on the image below.

(NOTE: Past performance is not an indication of future results.)

The minimum trade size is a buy position into BTC, so if 0.41% represents 1$ of your investment, then by a simple proportion 100% of your investment is (100/0.41) = 243.90 $. Therefore, if you want to replicate all of the open positions of this investor the minimum dollar amount you need to invest is 243.90$. The decision of whether you actually want to invest as much depends on your personal preference and on whether you can afford do so at this point in time as you could perhaps invest more at a later time when you have more funds available to do so. Also beware that the minimum trade size you used for the calculation may change if the investor executed new trades of even smaller sizes.

Feedback of the community

eToro is a social platform for a reason: asking the community for help or an advice is something you might want to consider. Perhaps the investor themselves have mentioned the adviced amount in their bio or feed, or you may choose to directly ask their opinion on this matter. There maybe some useful information from other copiers on investor’s feed regarding the amounts they invested and the outcome of doing so.

Given everyone’s feedback still do remember that the final amount decision is up to you solely and should not be made by anyone else.

The process

Once you decided on the amount and invested your funds, the trades for you will open proportionately to the copied investor’s allocations.

Note that the platform itself will not allow you to use less than the minimum for the copy. You can also set up the Copy Stop Loss amount as the percentage of your total investment.

Note of Caution

Beware that if the trader you are copying are making a loss, that loss will be reflected in your account too; that means although you might have invested the required minimum amount to replicate all the trades, the value amount would be lower than that due to any losses or applicable fees, and then the amount available for investment will be lower than the required minimum. Investing a little more than the absolute minimum may account for the potential losses the investor makes.

Hopefully the above guide clarified the process of deciding how much to allocate to the Popular Investor you have chosen to copy. However, bear in mind that deciding on how much of your funds to allocate is a decision to make by yourself and depends on your personal preference, the amount of capital you can afford to invest and the degree of risk aversion. Enjoy trading and take care!
