Can I Use Trading Bots on eToro?

No, eToro's web platform and app doesn’t support third-party trading bots or automated scripts. In other sites or online discussions, some users have reported doing their own workarounds using browser automation or custom code, but these setups aren’t approved by eToro and can breach their terms of service, which risks having their account restricted or even shut down.

A Safer Workaround: CopyTrader

If you're looking to automate trades, there's already a built-in tool made for that: CopyTrader.

Rather than writing code or syncing up to external APIs, CopyTrader lets you automatically mirror the trades of top investors live on the platform. No spreadsheets and no guesswork, just direct access to trading strategies from users with a track record.

Still curious about bots?

Now, if you’re serious about full-blown automated trading, you’re better off exploring platforms built specifically for algorithmic strategies. Those platforms offer open APIs, proper scripting environments, and full transparency about bot usage.

Whatever you choose, make sure your trading activity (manual or automated) stays within the platform’s rules. Getting clever with automation isn’t worth losing your account.
