When other users copy your trades on eToro using the CopyTrader feature, you’re not just trading but building something bigger.
First, there’s real money on the table. If you’re part of the Popular Investor Program, you earn monthly payments based on your tier and how many copiers follow you. That’s income on top of your actual trading profits.
Then there’s the trust factor. Being copied signals credibility. It attracts more followers, builds your presence, and can grant you exclusive perks and support from eToro.
Getting copied on eToro isn’t just a nod to your trading skills, it can open up serious opportunities. Especially if you’re in the Popular Investor Program:
Hit Champion tier or above? That’s when the payments start rolling in.
You’ll get a monthly payout from eToro, calculated as a percentage of your Assets Under Copy (AUC). Usually around 1.5%, paid out every month. Move up to Elite or Elite Pro, and the numbers climb even higher with bonuses for hitting certain AUC thresholds.
Lower-tier traders (like Cadet) won’t see direct payments yet, but they’re still gaining traction. Think visibility, credibility, and a foot in the door.
Popular Investors get their own badge and special placement across eToro’s Discover sections. That means more exposure, more profile views, and a stronger reputation among 40+ million users.
It’s a shortcut to being a popular trader without having to shout.
The higher your tier, the better the perks.
We’re talking zero commissions on stocks, priority support, TipRanks integration, and invites to exclusive events, like strategy calls with analysts or invite-only summits. There’s also funded training and educational content to sharpen your edge even further.
Being copied means your trades (and your thinking) are on display.
That’s not a bad thing. You’re at the center of a global community where users follow your moves, ask questions, and interact with your posts. It’s finance meets social media, and you’re in the middle of it.
Copy trading isn’t just about passive income, it’s also about building something.
Your portfolio becomes your brand. The better you perform, the more copiers you attract, and the more your AUC climbs. Treat it like a business, and you can build long-term momentum on the platform.
If you ask me, getting copied on eToro isn’t just some badge of honor. It’s a real shot at earning passive income, building your profile, and opening doors long-term if you can trade with consistency.
