To copy forex traders on eToro, start by logging into your eToro account and heading to the Discover tab. Click on CopyTrader, then filter by traders who specialize in Currencies. Take a good look at each trader’s track record: performance history, risk score, portfolio breakdown. When you find one that fits your goals, hit Copy. Enter the amount you want to invest (minimum $200), and decide if you want to include their existing trades. From there, eToro takes over, automatically copying their forex moves to your account. You can pause or stop copying whenever you like.

Detailed Steps

1. Set up your eToro account (or just log in if you’ve already got one)

Head to eToro on desktop or mobile. Create your account, verify your identity (yes, it’s mandatory), and deposit some funds. You’ll need at least $200 to start using CopyTrader. That’s your buy-in.

2. Find Forex-first traders

Go to Discover → CopyTrader and switch the asset filter to Currencies. This filters out the crypto and stock crowd, and shows you only traders who focus on the Forex markets.

Here’s what to look for:

• Risk score: eToro rates each trader from 1 to 7. Lower is steadier, higher is spicier.
• Performance history: You want consistency over hype. Scroll their charts and look for gradual growth, not rollercoasters.
• Portfolio breakdown: Check that most of their capital is in currencies and not in other asset types.
• Popular Investor status: Traders are ranked (Cadet, Champion, Elite, Elite Pro). More stars usually mean more oversight and a proven record as a top investor.

3. Copy your first trader

Click Copy on the trader’s profile. Choose how much you want to allocate (minimum: $200).

Want to jump in on their current Forex trades too? Tick “Copy Open Trades”. Leave it unchecked if you prefer to follow only future moves.

Personal tip: Set a Stop-Loss amount for the copy. It’s your escape hatch if things turn south.

Hit Copy, and you’re officially in the game. Trades will mirror in real-time based on your allocation.

4. Monitor and adjust

Head to your Portfolio to see how things are going. You can tweak your allocation anytime: add more, pull some out, it’s up to you.

To make a change:

• Tap into the settings and hit Pause or Stop Copying.
• From there, choose to either Sell All (closes the trades) or Keep All (lets you manage the positions manually).

5. Fine-tune your strategy

Don’t go all-in on one trader. Copy two or three with different styles to balance your risk.

Use tools like risk filters or the “Find Your Match” quiz to match traders to your preferred risk level and trading style.

And don’t forget: check in often. Performance shifts. Risk scores change. Make sure your choices still line up with your goals.

When I copy forex traders, I stick with those who’ve shown consistent performance over several years and focus mainly on currency trades. I also set stop-loss levels upfront to cap potential losses automatically. New to this? Start with a small amount, monitor how it plays out, and scale up only when you’ve got a better feel for the flow.
