Since its launch, eToro has made efforts to make information available and easy to use for new traders. The trading history over a one-year period enables one to examine and verify en eToro trader's long term performance. The calculation of profits and losses, though, is not transparent. eToro uses a proprietary formula that is supposed to take into account both open and closed positions. However, to date, we have not been able to re-calculate statistics based on the data and information that are shared. In our experience, a positive figure does not necessarily mean a positive performance for a follower's account.
