Following on from our more detailed sneak preview of eToro’s new trading platform back in March, here is a recap of what users can expect.
Unified Trading Platform
The new platform builds on eToro’s position as a broker with a unique social trading offering, allowing users to access both the trading and social offerings in one place.
Moreover, the new platform creates a unified appearance across all devices; a useful development given the difficulty in switching between trading and social platforms on apps in the past. Users will also benefit from a coherent experience regardless of how they access the platform.
The new platform continues eToro’s OpenBook model of a single page layout, creating a non-cluttered display of one feature at a time. While this provides a cleaner and simpler feel, more active traders may miss the ability to display multiple functions at once, such as data feeds, charts and other trading tools. Although the company maintains that all trading tools are only ever one click away.
Focus on Leaders
The new platform resonates with eToro’s ‘Popular Investor Program‘ and copy trading functionality. Popular and succssful investors continue to be treated as other assets would be, with their own performance and social feed pages.
Indeed, all clients can allow their trades to be uploaded to the eToro network where they can be displayed in a number of statistical ways, such as by the amount of profit made.
Copy traders can search for leaders based on a number of criteria, including risk score, number of copiers and performance filters, which existed in the past, as well as new parameters such as assets under management and the percentage change in copiers.
Watchlists
The company also highlights the new watchlists that are available. In addition to markets and assets that the trader wants to follow, such as share prices, commodities or currencies, users can also keep an eye on leaders. eToro users can therefore, via a graphical interface, monitor a portfolio of leaders that they are copying.
Trading
As mentioned in our previous post, another major change, based on strong user demand, is the initiation of real-time stock trading. Currently, stocks are available for purchase at the end of trading each day and resemble more of a mutual fund than equity trading product. With the upgrade, this model will be changed to allow for real-time trading, as well as short positions. By the end of the year, eToro also plans on expanding its available stocks to trade reaching over a thousand.
