All trades, except those flagged as ‘Carry Over the Weekend‘, will automatically close out in eToro real money mode when market closes at the end of the week. Closing rates will be posted during the weekend in the trading log section in eToro lobby. All real money accounts will be open during the weekend and all traders are welcome to view their trading account info.

Volatility is lowest at night, so you can leave trades open overnight for free, since eToro charges no rollover fees.
