CEO Yoni Assia comments after Brexit, as eToro pushes out a new feature.
Finance Magnates
Online broker and social trading technology developer eToro, which provides FX and CFD traders with the ability to find trading strategies from amongst its network of traders globally, has made changes to certain of its product features and trading conditions.
After introducing a trailing stop-loss feature into its virtual portfolio mode several months ago, eToro has just announced that it has pushed this feature into its real portfolio mode as well, according to a blog update on the company's website.
In preparation for such a huge event we considered it vital that our clients' exposure to risk was reduced and that led us to changing some of the leverage options that we offer at eToro.
Although record moves were made across various currencies and indices in last Friday's trading session, after the global markets digested the news of the UK's vote to exit the EU, markets functioned orderly and major firms - including eToro - operated smoothly.
While the contagion of the Brexit could spread further, currency and global stock markets experienced subdued Volatility today when compared to last Friday's historic trading day - the GBP/USD reached its lowest level in three decades and fell by nearly half as much again today.
Trading volumes surged last Friday across various trading venues, and eToro also observed a rise in the value of assets under management (AUM) that was being copied on its platform, as explained in a letter to clients today. The company also reverted trading conditons back to normal for two of its related currencies including EUR and GBP pairs.
Operations ran smoothly

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.
