eToro has no full portfolio tracker built in. The app shows positions and headline P&L, but it blurs CFDs with real stocks, hides what your copy-trades actually own, reports everything in USD, and offers no UK capital-gains context. Your options: the app as-is, Delta (eToro’s own companion app), a spreadsheet — or a private tracker that works from one statement export.
eToro does the buying brilliantly — execution, copy-trading, fractional shares. The seeing is another matter: the moment you ask what do I actually own, in pounds, and what does it mean for my tax?, you’re on your own. This guide maps the gaps and your ways around them.
Key Takeaways
- The app shows trades, not analytics: USD-only, CFDs and real stocks on one screen, no copy-trade look-through.
- One statement = full history: eToro’s Account Statement export has no one-year cap — but it’s XLSX, not CSV.
- Currency is half your return: without USD→GBP conversion per trade, you can’t separate stock performance from FX luck.
- UK tax is entirely yours to track — eToro doesn’t report your trades to HMRC for you; your statements are the evidence trail.
eToro is built for trading. The analysis is your problem.
Five structural gaps appear the moment you ask what you actually own:
- ✕ CFDs and real stocks share one screen — leveraged bets and long-term holdings blur into a single number.
- ✕ Copy-trading is a black box — you see the trader you copy, not the 40 positions underneath.
- ✕ Everything is USD — your GBP reality, and FX’s contribution to your returns, is invisible.
- ✕ No UK tax context — capital gains on disposals are your problem to compute, and no one reports them for you.
- ✕ Export is XLSX-only — and most tools choke on it.
Your options for tracking an eToro portfolio
| Capability | eToro app | Delta (eToro’s own) | Avex |
|---|---|---|---|
| Live P&L | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| CFD vs real-stock separation | ✕ | Partial | ✓ |
| Copy-trade look-through | ✕ | ✕ | ✓ |
| GBP view with FX impact | ✕ | Partial | ✓ |
| UK CGT context | ✕ | ✕ | ✓ |
| Other brokers in the same view | ✕ | Manual entry | ✓ (statement-based) |
| Cost | Free | Free + paid tiers | Early access |
Best for: the app alone — occasional check-ins on a small copy-portfolio. Delta — mobile-first price watching (worth knowing: Delta is owned by eToro itself — decent for watching, not built for wrapper-aware UK analytics). Avex — your real holdings across eToro and other brokers, in GBP, with UK tax context.
Getting your data out: the one export that matters
Everything runs from eToro’s Account Statement — and unlike Trading 212, there’s no one-year cap: one export covers your full history.
- Open eToro → Portfolio → the History (clock) icon.
- Choose Account Statement and set the date range — full history works in one file.
- Download. The file is XLSX (Excel), not CSV — multiple sheets: positions, activity, dividends.
Three quirks to respect before you sum anything: the base currency is USD with per-trade FX (your GBP figure needs the conversion column, not a guess); CFD and real-stock rows live side by side — check the instrument type before treating a row as a long-term holding; and dividends sit in their own sheet, with US withholding shown. If you need CSV for another tool, Excel or Google Sheets converts in one step — our step-by-step eToro export guide covers it in detail.
What about UK tax on eToro?
In a GIA (eToro has no ISA), profits on real stocks count toward UK capital gains tax above the £3,000 annual exemption (18%/24% for 2026/27), and CFD profits are taxable too. And no — eToro doesn’t report your trades to HMRC for you: your statements are the only complete record behind every figure you file. The full picture — dividends, withholding, Self Assessment triggers — belongs in a tax guide of its own. For the matching math (same-day, 30-day, Section 104), a dedicated calculator beats any spreadsheet.
Building the habit? Our one-page UK broker export cheat-sheet covers eToro plus 7 other platforms — the path, the format, the trap. And if you’re still deciding whether eToro is the right platform at all, that’s a different question — our full eToro UK review answers it.
Avex AI provides mathematical context and record-keeping tools — never investment advice. Avex AI is not affiliated with or endorsed by eToro. Capital at risk.
Partially. The app shows your positions and headline profit or loss, in USD. What it doesn’t do: separate CFDs from real stocks in your analytics, show what your copy-trades actually hold, or give any UK tax context.
Delta is eToro’s companion tracking app (eToro acquired it). It’s good for mobile price-watching across assets, but it doesn’t do wrapper-aware UK tax analytics or statement-based multi-broker consolidation.
Portfolio → History (clock icon) → Account Statement → set the date range → download. One XLSX file covers your full history — there’s no one-year cap like Trading 212’s.
In a GIA, yes: capital gains above the £3,000 annual exemption (18%/24%), dividends above the £500 allowance. eToro doesn’t report your trades to HMRC for you — keeping your own statements is what makes your numbers provable.
Yes. Every disposal made by the trader you copy is your disposal for capital gains purposes. That’s exactly why look-through — seeing the underlying positions — matters more on eToro than on any other UK platform.
