Build your online financial following
When you are copied by others, you earn a fixed payment per copier, plus bonuses for advancing rank. These payments are in addition to any profits made from your own trading and are paid monthly to your account as real, immediately withdrawable funds. The more copiers you have, the more you will be paid by eToro.
It’s a great opportunity to be a Popular Investor, but at the same time, it also means a lot of responsibility. Knowing that people are following my actions and putting their trust in me, inspires me to get better and better, and is a great recognition of my hard work.
