eToro has expanded trading hours for a limited number of its Smart Portfolios, allowing them to be traded on a 24/5 basis. The broker said the change applies to four portfolios: BigTech, Four-Horsemen, Magnificent-7, and Buybacks.

The update builds on eToro’s earlier move into extended-hours trading. Last year, the firm joined other retail platforms in offering 24/5 trading, reflecting a broader industry shift driven by demand for US-listed stocks, particularly from investors in Asia. Extended and overnight trading has become more common as brokers respond to changing trading patterns.

eToro Extends Smart Portfolios Trading Hours

Under the new schedule, the selected Smart Portfolios can be traded from Sunday 20:05 to Friday 16:00 ET, extending access beyond standard exchange hours. eToro said the move is intended to give users greater flexibility when managing their positions.

The company also said users can set up recurring copy for the eligible Smart Portfolios, allowing investments to be made automatically according to a fixed schedule.

Smart Portfolios are eToro’s thematic and strategy-based products, which group assets based on predefined criteria and are managed under set rules.

eToro Sees One-Third Trading in Extended Hours

Roughly one-third of eToro’s stock trading now occurs outside traditional market hours, the broker told Finance Magnates. This follows the rollout of 24/5 access to all S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 stocks, allowing users in Europe and Asia to trade during local daytime hours.

Activity in extended sessions largely mirrors standard trading patterns, though volumes can rise around earnings announcements. eToro noted that wider spreads and thinner order books remain typical off-hours, aligning the firm with other brokers offering extended trading.
