TradingViewPrices, charts and indicator readings on this page are supplied by TradingView for analysis. They are not eTrade execution prices and no order can be placed from this website. Your fills are the prices quoted inside sTrader at the moment of execution.
Size the position before you take it.
Margin, pip value and risk-based position sizing, computed from the real contract specification of the instrument you selected above. The current price is fetched live, so the required margin you see is worked out on a real market price — not a number we invented. You can still type your own price over it at any time.
Margin call applies at 100% and stop out at 50%. Leverage is selectable at 1:1, 1:30, 1:100, 1:200 and 1:500. The price used here is a live reference price, not an eTrade execution price — your real margin is calculated by the trading server at the moment your order fills.
Pip value is what one pip of movement is worth on your chosen volume.
Sizes a position so a stop-loss fill costs the percentage you chose. Gaps and slippage can exceed it.
Know what is about to print.
Scheduled releases move majors faster than anything else on the board. Check the calendar before you size a position into a high-impact print.
Economic calendar
LiveFive tiers, one rulebook.
Every tier carries selectable leverage of 1:1, 1:30, 1:100, 1:200 or 1:500, a 100% margin call and a 50% stop out, with access to the full instrument range. What changes between them is the entry threshold and how you pay for the spread.
Leverage is set per trading account at one of five fixed steps — 1:1, 1:30, 1:100, 1:200 or 1:500 — and applies to every position on that account. A higher step means a smaller margin requirement and a proportionally larger loss from the same market move.
Four ways in, four ways out.
Bank transfer, Visa, Mastercard and USDT. Pick a method to see exactly what happens next. Withdrawals are normally returned by the same method and to the same source used to deposit, and deposits must come from an account held in your own name.
How a deposit works
Choose your method
Open Deposit in the Client Portal and pick one of the four methods above.
Get your instructions
Payment details are generated for that single deposit and shown only inside the portal.
Pay and get credited
Complete the payment from an account in your own name. The balance updates once it clears.
Availability, processing times and limits depend on your account, your jurisdiction and the provider, and are confirmed in the Client Portal. Deposit instructions are issued only inside the Client Portal and are never published on this website or sent by unsolicited message. Identity verification must be complete before a live account can be funded.
Sample design. Terms and limits are issued with your card in the Client Portal. Never share your CVV.
Take your balance off the platform and into the world.
An international Visa or Mastercard debit card, issued to eTrade clients and linked to your funds. Spend in local currency wherever you are, and withdraw cash at ATMs worldwide.
Accepted wherever Visa or Mastercard is accepted. Add the card to Apple Pay or Google Pay and pay from your phone or watch. Card issuance is subject to eligibility, verification and availability in your jurisdiction; card terms, limits and any applicable fees are provided with your card application in the Client Portal.
What the card gives you
We build the platform, so we can fix the platform.
sTrader is eTrade's own trading terminal. Because it is ours, execution behaviour, charting and order handling are decided here rather than licensed from a third party.
Five builds, one account.
Balance, watchlist, open positions and order history stay identical across every device. Start an order on your phone and manage it from the desktop build.
Web
Runs in the browser. Nothing to install.
iOS
Native iPhone and iPad application.
Android
Native Android application.
Windows
Desktop build for multi-monitor setups.
macOS

Synced state
One login. Same positions and watchlists everywhere.
Every order type, and automation.
Supported orders
- Market orders
- Limit orders

- Stop-limit orders
- Trailing stops
- Stop loss and take profit on any position
Automated trading
sTrader supports automated trading, so a strategy can run without you at the screen. Automation does not reduce market risk — an automated strategy keeps trading through conditions you have not tested it in, so test on a demo account first and keep stop losses in place.
Charting
Full charting with orders applied directly from the chart.
Copy trading built in
Allocate to a strategy provider without leaving the terminal. How it works
Full instrument range
Over 2,000 live instruments across every asset class.
Follow a strategy without handing over control.
Allocate to a strategy provider and their trades mirror into your own account, scaled to your balance. You keep your capital, your limits, and the ability to stop at any moment.
Proportional allocation.
Trades are scaled to the size of your account rather than copied at the provider's volume. If a provider commits 2% of their capital to a position, roughly 2% of yours goes in — so a large provider account cannot force an oversized position into a small one.
Choose a provider
Review a provider's history and fee before committing anything.
Set your allocation
Decide how much of your balance follows the strategy.
Trades mirror in
Positions open and close in your account, scaled proportionally.
Detach anytime
Stop following whenever you choose. Open positions stay yours to manage.
The provider's performance fee.
Strategy providers charge a performance fee within this range, with 60% the maximum permitted. The exact rate is set by the provider and shown to you before you allocate. It is never applied retroactively.
What that fee means
- It is charged on performance, not on your deposit.
- A 60% fee means the provider takes a majority of the gains on the copied portion.
- The fee does not offset losses — you carry those in full.
- Compare providers on net outcome after fee, not on headline performance.
- Losses replicate exactly as gains do. Past results never guarantee future results.
Get paid per lot, across your whole network.
eTrade's Introducing Broker programme pays a rebate on every lot your referred clients trade — and on the volume introduced by the partners beneath you.
Per lot
Rebates accrue on traded volume — not on deposits, and not on client losses. A lot traded is a lot paid, whether the client finished that trade up or down. Your rate is agreed when your partnership is set up.
Multi-tier
You earn on your own referred clients and on volume introduced by sub-partners in your network, so a network you build once keeps contributing without you sourcing every client directly.
Every lot, visible.
Partner reporting lives in the Client Portal, so you can reconcile accruals against actual client activity instead of waiting for a statement.
Referred clients
Who signed up under your link and where they are in verification.
Volume
Lots traded, broken down by client and by tier.
Rebate accrued
What you have earned and what is pending.
Sub-partners
Volume introduced by the partners in your network.
How we talk about earnings
We do not publish an income figure or earnings projection for this programme. What a partner earns depends entirely on how much volume their clients actually trade, and any number printed here would be a guess dressed up as a promise. Your rate and structure are set out in your partnership agreement.
Partner obligations
- Do not promise returns, profits or guaranteed outcomes to prospective clients.
- Always present the risk warning alongside any promotion.
- Do not manage client accounts or handle client funds on their behalf.
- Use only approved marketing material and the eTrade brand as supplied.
A broker that owns its own stack.
eTrade Global LTD. operates the eTrade brand and builds sTrader, the trading terminal our clients actually trade on. Owning the platform is the whole point — it means execution behaviour, charting and order handling are decided here.
Our own platform
sTrader is built in-house for Web, iOS, Android, Windows and macOS — not a licensed third-party terminal.
Broad market access
Over 2,000 live instruments across forex, commodities, indices and crypto.
More than execution
Copy trading and a multi-tier partner programme run on the same infrastructure.
Plain terms, published terms.
A lot of this industry advertises numbers it cannot support. We would rather publish less and have all of it be true.
What we publish
- Minimum deposits, leverage ceilings, margin call and stop out levels, in full.
- Volume limits and base currency for every account tier.
- The copy-trading fee range, before you allocate.
- The rebate model for partners.
What we don't
- No client counts, trading volumes, awards or uptime claims.
- No projected returns, on any strategy or programme.
- No earnings figures for partners.
- No bank details on this website — those are issued only in the Client Portal.
Everything except the trading, in one place.
