Hey everyone, just another reminder that I will be depositing additional funds into my portfolio on the 1st of May 2026. You can choose to add funds yourself, or take no action and eToroโs algorithm will automatically re-sync your copy to my portfolio.
Last time quite a few people asked me how much I will be adding - obviously markets are fluctuating all the time so itโs hard to give you an exact percentage but it should be around 15%.
See below for all the key information you need - Why, When and Copier Considerations.
๐๐๐ฎ?
I believe adding funds annually to my account demonstrates my commitment to eToro and my copiers because it ensures my incentives are fully aligned with my copiers. In short, I want to put my money where my mouth is, and maintain eToro as my largest investment portfolio.
As we all know, compounding growth is extremely powerful, and adding funds to your investment portfolioโs consistently with a long-term investment outlook is one of the best ways to achieve long-term returns.
The recent volatility caused by the conflict in the middle east could provide fantastic opportunities for investors willing to deploy capital, so I want to make sure I have funds available to take advantage.
๐๐๐๐ฃ?
I will be adding funds on the 1st of May but wonโt invest it into new positions until the 3rd of May at the earliest.
This allows time for copiers to also add funds proportionally if they want to, maintaining perfect synchronization with my portfolio without any re-synchronization.

As a copier you have 3 options when I add funds:
๐. ๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
After a couple of days your portfolio will automatically re-sync to mine, closing positions if necessary and opening new ones. This isnโt the optimal option because you may incur some spread fees, but these are low and would only make a negligible difference to the full-year performance of the copy.
๐. ๐จ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
If you add funds proportionate to my deposit within a couple of days of me doing it, your portfolio wonโt need to re-sync. This option is recommended, especially if your total copy amount is below the recommended minimum copy amount of $1000.
๐. ๐จ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐, ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐
This option may result in some automatic portfolio resynchronization, but might be more appropriate if you want to be more aggressive and add more funds, or if you donโt have enough funds to copy with the full amount, but still want to increase your exposure to markets.
There are no bad options, but as mentioned, itโs worth double checking that your copy amount is at least $1000 because this is required to ensure you are able to copy all positions in the portfolio.

If you have any questions or donโt fully understand what Iโm saying, please donโt be shy - ask your question in the comments and I will happily answer as soon as possible.
Iโll be posting a couple of other posts in the coming days/weeks with an update on my view of the ongoing conflicts in the middle east, one about Bitcoin, and a more general portfolio update.
If thereโs something youโd like me to post about Iโm open to suggestions too.
As always, thanks for copying and following, I look forward to answering any questions.... Show More

The 15% capital addition timing is interesting given current market conditions. Adding funds during elevated volatility periods can be powerful if you have systematic frameworks to deploy that capital efficiently. The key is having predetermined rules for deployment rather than trying to time the perfect... Show More
Do we need to wait until 3rd may to add the copies? If added tomorrow will it only open the current trades and use up all the funds? Iโd like to copy any new ones added too ... Show More
@jaynemesis Hi Jay, noticed that you added funds as mentioned. I have the same question as some of the previous ones regarding when and how to add the extra funds such that the money doesn't just go to all existing trades and is aligned properly? Thanks.... Show More
