eToro Announces the Introducing of Lower, Unified Minimum Trade Sizes

Global multi-asset trading platform eToro has announced that it was adjusting and tweaking its offerings by introducing new, lower, unified minimum trade sizes to match local regulations, audiences and available instruments.

Details of the new minimum trade sizes:

The multi-asset brokerage considers the minimum trade size as an entry barrier for some users who wish to diversify their portfolios, or to explore new markets. In order to let users around the world have the same easy-to-use experience on its platform, eToro lowered the minimum trade size and made sure that it would be exactly the same everywhere around the world.

In its announcement, the online trading platform also highlighted an important thing that the minimum trade size takes leverage into account. For example: The minimum trade size for oil (commodity) is $1,000, but this does not mean that customers need to allocate $1,000 of their funds to open a position. Using leverage of X10, customers can invest as little as $100 and open a position on oil. 

However, the company further emphasized that leverage carries a higher degree of risk, as both losses and gains are multiplied by the leverage factor.
