eToro and TraderWAI: what to know
- TraderWAI connects to eToro's own platform through its official public API (beta): in eToro go to Settings → Trading → API Key Management, copy the public key and create a user key with Trading «Write» permission for Demo or Real. eToro accounts work on TraderWAI's free plan.
- What you can open depends on your eToro account. Many accounts, especially in Europe, have CFDs blocked by eToro: then only buying stocks and crypto without leverage is possible, and forex, gold, indices and short positions are not. TraderWAI checks it before each order and tells your AI why.
- eToro requires a minimum stop loss distance, measured as a percentage of the invested amount (for example 10% on crypto bought without leverage). TraderWAI refuses closer stops instead of letting eToro move them.
- The eToro virtual portfolio (demo) works with its own user key, so you can test everything without real money.
What Cursor can do with your eToro account
- Read live charts in any timeframe, with the indicators you ask for.
- Check your balance, open positions and pending orders.
- Backtest a strategy idea on historical data before risking anything.
- Prepare market, limit and stop orders with stop loss and take profit that you approve.
- Leave conditional orders that TraderWAI watches every minute.
- Respect your risk limits: maximum daily loss and drawdown, risk per trade, size and number of trades.
eToro and Cursor: questions
Can I connect Claude or ChatGPT to eToro?
Yes. Add TraderWAI to Claude or ChatGPT (free plans work) and connect your eToro account with your public key and a user key. Your AI can then read charts, check your eToro portfolio and prepare orders with stop loss and take profit that you approve.
Why can't my AI trade gold or forex on eToro?
Because eToro has CFDs blocked on your account (common in Europe, it depends on eToro's own checks). Stocks and crypto can still be bought without leverage. Only eToro can enable CFDs.
