eToro Review, Test & Rating in 2025

The main advantage of eToro is the wide range of tradable products. As the world's largest social trading platform, new traders whose trading strategy you can copy are basically added all the time. With 16 cryptocurrencies offered, eToro is also very strong and offers the possibility to buy / hold cryptos even without leverage. The same applies to stocks, you can either buy them with leverage (I.e. with financing costs) or without leverage (without financing costs and with distributions). The eToro webtrader is clearly designed and beginner friendly. The eToro demo account provides an easy entry point for complete trading novices.

The size of eToro has been its biggest weakness for several months. Due to the high influx of new customers, eToro lacks the service/support to personally attend to each customer. That is why the limit of 10000$ was introduced, above which one (only) gets assigned a personal account manager. So far, the (high) fees for withdrawals are another negative point. The fees could still become much cheaper for some trading instruments. The eToro Webtrader is as much a plus as a weakness. With higher volatility, the ability to trade is often limited. In addition, there is the slow execution of orders and the comparatively poor handling of the chart software.

eToro offers various asset classes and over 2700 different trading instruments

These include, among others,

• +47 Forex/Currency pairs
• +13 Indices
• +7 Metals
• +10 Agricultural products
• +16 Cryptocurrencies
• +3 Energy
• +4 Agricultural products
• +50 Cryptocurrencies
• +2350 Stocks
• +150 ETFs

Our eToro experiences are mixed. eToro is by far the largest provider in the field of social trading. If you are interested in profiting from social trader portfolios or want to earn extra money by publishing your trading ideas - then there is probably no way around eToro. eToro offers many cryptocurrencies and stocks. The percentage of successful traders is probably one of the highest of all CFD brokers due to the possibility to copy successful traders.

The very large selection of financial products has a positive effect. Unfortunately, the cost structure is not always very transparent and can still be extended. In addition, there are fees (5€) for the withdrawal of eToro accounts. eToro is completely designed for a simple web interface, it lacks typical trading software such as Metatrader. Due to eToro's very strong user growth, support and service have fallen by the wayside (Our experience in 2018-2020). There has been too little investment in manpower to cope with the onslaught. The eToro Club offers additional services for traders for higher account balances. An account supervisor is offered only from the Gold level (previously from Silver).
