What is the minimum trade size on eToro?

Minimum trade size is the minimum amount you must spend to open a trade. On eToro, the minimum trade sizes of asset classes are different.

As of December 5, 2021, the minimum trade size for all eToro users is:

Asset Class	New Minimum Trade Size
Stocks	$10
ETFs	$10
Crypto	$10
Currencies	$1,000
Commodities	$1,000
Indices	$1,000

Please note that minimum trade size includes leverage*.

Example: If an eToro user opens a position in oil (commodities), which has minimum trade size of $1,000, they can invest a smaller amount, as long as the position leverages minimum. For this example, a user can invest $100 using X10 leverage and still meet the minimum trade size requirement.

* Use of leverage may be limited by European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) measures.

However, keep in mind that the eToro platform is a global platform. In some countries, there will be separate financial regulations. So minimum trade sizes for different assets apply depending on the country or when the user joined eToro.

Suppose your minimum trade size is different from the above. Don’t hesitate to contact eToro support to check and get the answer.
