eToro trading conditions
Trading conditions vary by account, platform, legal entity and client classification. The figures below reflect the latest information available to 88 Forex Brokers and should be confirmed before trading.
Spreads and commissions
eToro advertises spreads from 0.2 pips on Retail. The stated commission is $0. Typical or live pricing may be higher than the advertised minimum, particularly outside liquid trading hours or during volatile markets.
A quoted spread from 0.2 pips is a raw-spread figure, which almost always means a separate commission per lot. Compare the two together - a "zero spread" account with a high commission can cost more than a wider spread with none.
Quoted spreads are best-case figures on the most liquid pair, in normal conditions. What you actually pay widens around news and at the session open.
eToro lists a minimum deposit of $50. Treat it as the cost of opening an account, not the cost of trading one - position sizing on a small balance is what tends to cause damage.

Leverage and margin
Maximum leverage is reported as 1:30, although the available limit depends on the account entity, instrument, client classification and local rules. Higher leverage increases both potential gains and losses and can lead to rapid account depletion.
Execution model
eToro describes its execution model as Market maker / principal execution. The available information indicates an average execution speed of Under 1 second, order types of Market, limit, stop-loss, take-profit, trailing stop-loss and servers in Global cloud/data-centre infrastructure. Execution labels are not standardised across the industry, so review the order-execution policy and conflict disclosures rather than relying on a single term.
