How can etoro’s risk management policy affect trading?

Our robust and dynamic risk management policy primarily mitigates risk for our clients but also helps to ensure regulatory compliance and maintain market integrity. As part of this, we routinely monitor and periodically adjust the upper and lower limits for every instrument we offer.

Upper limits on market variables, such as the spread, are also in place to protect investors against slippage and delays when the market is volatile. These improve the reliability and predictability of order execution, providing a smoother experience and less risk to your funds.

When you place an order, the trade details may occasionally end up outside the boundaries outlined by our internal risk management policy or liquidity providers. Our system can recognise this and will reject the order immediately.
