eToro has expanded trading hours for a limited number of its
Smart Portfolios, allowing them to be traded on a 24/5 basis. The broker said
the change applies to four portfolios: BigTech, Four-Horsemen, Magnificent-7,
and Buybacks.

The update builds on eToro’s earlier move into
extended-hours trading. Last year, the
firm joined other retail platforms in offering 24/5 trading, reflecting a
broader industry shift driven by demand for US-listed stocks, particularly from
investors in Asia. Extended and overnight trading has become more common as
brokers respond to changing trading patterns.

eToro Extends Smart Portfolios Trading Hours

Under the new schedule, the selected Smart Portfolios can be
traded from Sunday 20:05 to Friday 16:00 ET, extending access beyond standard
exchange hours. eToro said the move is intended to give users greater
flexibility when managing their positions.

The company also said users can set up recurring copy for
the eligible Smart Portfolios, allowing investments to be made automatically
according to a fixed schedule.

Smart Portfolios are eToro’s thematic and strategy-based
products, which group assets based on predefined criteria and are managed under
set rules.

eToro Sees One-Third Trading in Extended Hours

Roughly one-third of eToro’s
stock trading now occurs outside traditional market hours, the broker told
Finance Magnates. This follows the rollout of 24/5
access to all S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 stocks, allowing users in Europe
and Asia to trade during local daytime hours.

Activity in extended sessions
largely mirrors standard trading patterns, though volumes can rise around
earnings announcements. eToro noted that wider spreads and thinner order books
remain typical off-hours, aligning the firm with other brokers offering
extended trading.
