Here is my Australian guide to investing in eToro for the long term. On eToro you can buy shares and ETFs and hold them for the long term without paying any commissions.
eToro can be used both as a short term trading platform (to profit off the movement of trades over a day) or for long term investing (growing your wealth over time). Day trading is complex and difficult. It’s not for most people. If you’re looking for long term gains on eToro, then here is a potential strategy for inspiration. Remember this isn’t investment advice – always do your own research.
You can check out my eToro portfolio performance for 2020 here. I’ve always put together a complete guide to eToro here.
eToro has announced plans to become a public company via an SPAC. eToro will be merging with Fintech Acquisition Corp V and is expected to have an estimated implied equity value of $10.4 billion.
I’ve been an eToro customer for the past few years and have used the platform to invest in US shares and trade via copy trading. I’m excited to see this next chapter for eToro.

eToro is a trading platform that is available in Australia. You can trade stocks, currencies, cryptocurrencies, commodities and ETFs. But is it a good option for investing and trading? We break down the pros and cons.
eToro is an online trading platform. You can buy and sell shares (both real shares and CFDs), forex (currency like the AUD), cryptos (like bitcoin) and commodities (such as Gold and Oil). It’s also a “copy trading platform”. This means you can copy trades made by more experienced traders. Whenever they make a trade, your account also makes a trade.
I currently use eToro to invest in a portfolio of tech companies.
