Can etoro limit trading on assets?

etoro constantly monitors market conditions and liquidity. When certain assets experience extreme volatility or low liquidity, the platform has safety mechanisms in place to protect the community.

Whatrestrictionscanbeapplied?

Safety mechanisms may limit trading on an affected asset in a number of ways, including but not limited to:

• delaying the opening of the market
• closing the market early
• disabling the Buy or Short button
• only allowing the closing of existing positions
• disabling trading of an asset entirely

etoro may also impose restrictions due to specific market events or risk management considerations, such as:

• reducing the available leverage
• reducing the maximum exposure

Trading on an individual asset may also be restricted for reasons unrelated to overall market volatility. Common causes include:

• Tradinghaltattheexchange: if a stock or other instrument has been halted at the exchange (for example, due to a pending news announcement, order imbalance, or regulatory concern), it cannot be traded on etoro until trading resumes
• Corporateactions: events such as mergers, acquisitions, or delistings may temporarily suspend trading
• Localregulatoryrestrictions: certain assets may not be available in your country of residence

Once the reason for the restriction is resolved, trading on the asset will typically resume automatically. These measures are in place to maintain fair and orderly markets, and etoro does not control external exchange decisions.
