Trades mirror automatically
Every position I open is replicated in your account, scaled proportionally to your allocation.
Stop whenever you want
End the copy at any moment — close the mirrored positions or take them over yourself.
What are you buying?
On eToro you are not buying a product. You instruct the platform to replicate my trading activity inside your own account, proportionally to what you allocate.
- Your capital stays in your own eToro account, in your name, at all times.
- Every position I open is mirrored in your account, scaled to your allocation.
- You keep full control of your risk settings, including a Copy Stop Loss.
The fastest way to start
Three steps from sign-up to your first mirrored trade.
1
Open & fund your account
Register at eToro and complete the identity verification (a legal requirement). Then fund the account.
2
Find the profile
Search for the profile afuchsa and open the Sector Champions strategy.
3
Set your copy amount
Choose your allocation, decide whether to copy existing positions, optionally set a Copy Stop Loss, and confirm.
Fees & full transparency
There is no management fee and no performance fee for copying. Costs arise at platform level and depend on your region and behaviour:
- Spreads on the instruments traded.
- Currency conversion for deposits/withdrawals outside USD.
- Withdrawal fee per withdrawal, and an inactivity fee after long periods without login.
These figures are set by eToro and change over time — please check the current fee schedule on eToro’s own website before investing.
How I’m compensated
eToro compensates traders in its Popular Investor programme based on the volume of assets copying them. I therefore benefit financially if more capital copies this strategy. You do not pay this compensation — eToro does — but it is a conflict of interest, and you should know about it.
Why copy on eToro?
✓ In your own name
Capital is held in your account, not pooled or handed over.
✓ Automatic mirroring
No manual signal-following — positions replicate on their own.
✓ Regulated entity
European clients are served by a CySEC-supervised entity.
✓ Full control
Adjust your allocation, Copy Stop Loss, or stop entirely anytime.
What exactly is eToro?
eToro is a multi-asset investment platform, best known for its copy-trading function. Investors can allocate part of their account to replicating another trader’s activity automatically, rather than following signals manually.
For European clients the service is provided by a Cyprus-based entity supervised by CySEC. Client money is held in segregated accounts, and eligible clients are covered by the Investor Compensation Fund up to the applicable limit. This is not the same as German deposit insurance and does not protect against investment losses. Availability varies by country; US residents are served by a separate entity with a different product range.
Risk disclosures
- Market risk: the value of copied positions depends on the underlying securities. It can rise or fall, extended drawdowns are possible, and a total loss of the invested capital is possible.
- Strategy risk: past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. The strategy may be changed, paused or discontinued at any time, and I may cease trading on the platform.
- Concentration risk: the strategy holds a focused number of positions across technology, industrials, commodities and utilities — sectors that may correlate more strongly in a rate shock or liquidity event than their labels suggest.
- Entry timing: if you choose to copy my existing open positions, they are opened in your account at current market prices, not at my original entry prices. Your cost basis, and therefore your return, will differ from mine — potentially substantially.
- Tracking differences: positions are scaled proportionally to your allocation. Where a proportional amount falls below the platform’s minimum trade size, a trade may not be replicated. Spreads, execution timing and rounding mean your result will differ from mine.
- Copy Stop Loss: if triggered, the Copy Stop Loss closes all copied positions automatically at prevailing market prices. This locks in losses at that moment and removes any participation in a subsequent recovery. Setting it too tight can end the copy relationship during ordinary volatility.
- Currency risk: your account is denominated in USD. If your reference currency is the euro, EUR/USD movements affect your return independently of the strategy.
- Costs: copying carries no management or performance fee, but spreads, currency conversion, withdrawal and inactivity fees are charged at platform level and reduce your net return. Rates are set by eToro and change over time.
- Instrument type: Where positions are held as CFDs, additional risks apply, including overnight financing costs and the effects of leverage, and tax treatment differs.
- Platform dependency: the copy relationship exists only within eToro. Your access depends on your account and the platform’s continued operation. Client money is held in segregated accounts and eligible clients are covered by the Investor Compensation Fund up to the applicable limit — this does not protect against investment losses.
