What is Social Trading?

​

“Social trading” or “social investing” is the most recent evolution of online trading. By adding social elements to online trading, eToro has created a unique social trading platform, which gives its clients a variety of ways to benefit from other peoples' knowledge, and share their own. Social trading is the utilization of user-generated content, and crowd-wisdom, for the act of online trading. Social trading sites provide their users with a variety of community-based tools in order to give them the information needed for making smarter investment and trading decisions. For example, a social trading platform would enable its users to see other users’ portfolios, read their news feeds, and look at their overall performance, to gain a better understanding of trading strategy." - eToro​
