Using eToro and Interactive Brokers together

First, the manual way to combine the two accounts

You do not need any software to see your combined position across eToro and Interactive Brokers — you just need to be disciplined about one thing. Export the two account statements, list every holding with its market value and currency, convert everything to a single base currency at the same day's FX rate, and add them up. Then compute a blended return properly: you cannot simply average the two percentages, because that ignores how much money sits in each account. Weight each account's return by its value. If your €40,000 IBKR account returned 8% and your €10,000 eToro account returned 20%, the combined return is (40,000×8% + 10,000×20%) ÷ 50,000 = 10.4%, not the misleading 14% you would get by averaging.

The step people skip — and the one that matters most here — is separating eToro's CFD exposure from real, owned assets before totalling anything. A CFD is a contract whose value tracks an underlying price; you never own the share, and the position can be leveraged. Adding a leveraged CFD's notional value straight into a total that otherwise represents shares you fully own overstates your wealth and understates your risk. So in the manual method you keep two subtotals: real invested assets and CFD exposure. Only then do the numbers mean anything. This is fiddly to redo every month across two currencies and two statement formats, which is exactly where a tool earns its place.

What syncs from each broker

What does not come across: live intraday tick prices (values refresh about every 30 minutes, not per-tick); anything the broker's report does not expose — for IBKR that means data limited to what the Flex Query includes, and for eToro it means copy-trade internals and social metrics are not portfolio data. Custom or unlisted assets you have added manually elsewhere are excluded. There is no order routing, because both connections are read-only.

Sync runs three times a day and position values refresh about every 30 minutes during market hours. StackViewer is not a real-time tool and is not built for day trading — if you scalp CFDs on eToro intraday, this will always lag your broker screen.

Why the eToro CFD-versus-real-asset split matters here

eToro is unusual among the 31 brokers StackViewer supports because a single eToro account can hold both real, invested assets and CFDs at the same time. (Note the regional exception: eToro USA offers only real crypto assets and does not offer CFDs, per eToro's own disclosures, as of 2026-09-10.) That mix is the whole reason this pairing needs care. Interactive Brokers accounts, by contrast, are overwhelmingly real assets across global equity, ETF, bond and options markets. Merge the two naively and you would drop leveraged CFD notionals into the same bucket as fully-owned IBKR shares — the combined percentage return and the risk metrics would both be wrong.

StackViewer's fix is to label eToro CFD positions as CFDs and let you compute your return on real invested assets on its own, or view the full picture with CFDs clearly marked. Your 15+ risk metrics — Sharpe, Sortino, Alpha, Beta, Max Drawdown, Value at Risk — can then be read against the exposure you actually carry, rather than a blended fiction. This is the honest version of the number your eToro app and your IBKR portal each show only half of.

Running both accounts as one portfolio

eToro and IBKR are a common pairing for a specific reason: people use eToro for its app, social/copy features and easy access to stocks and crypto, then use Interactive Brokers for low-cost, serious, multi-currency investing across global markets. The trouble is two very different dashboards that never talk to each other. Connect both and StackViewer produces a single time-weighted return across the two accounts, a combined diversification score, and one dividend calendar — rather than two apps you mentally add together. On top of that, the trading journal tags each decision with your stated reason, conviction and emotion, so you can see whether your impulsive eToro trades or your considered IBKR positions actually built your wealth.

Reconnection and consent behaviour

The two brokers behave differently when a connection needs refreshing, and it helps to know which is which. eToro uses an OAuth authorisation you approve on eToro's own site; if consent lapses or you change your eToro login, you simply re-authorise through the connection portal. Interactive Brokers is different: because it relies on a Flex Query ID and Token you generate under Performance & Reports → Third-Party Reports, a broken IBKR link is usually fixed by re-issuing or re-pasting that Token rather than logging in again. And remember IBKR delivers data in scheduled daily windows, so after reconnecting an IBKR account, allow up to 24–72 hours — especially over a weekend or holiday — before everything reappears. (Verified against SnapTrade's eToro and Interactive Brokers integration docs, snaptrade.com, as of 2026-09-10.)

Is it safe to connect eToro and Interactive Brokers?

Both connections are read-only through SnapTrade. For eToro you log in on eToro's own site and StackViewer receives a read token — it never sees or stores your eToro password. For Interactive Brokers you provide a read-only Flex Query ID and Token, which by design can return report data and nothing else. Neither connection can place a trade or move money, and trading permission is never requested; SnapTrade's IBKR and eToro integrations do not support trading at all. You can revoke either connection from inside the respective broker or from within StackViewer at any time.

Data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit, authentication runs on AWS Cognito with optional TOTP MFA, and you can export everything to CSV or delete your account at any time. Full detail on the security page.

Frequently asked

Is it safe to connect eToro and Interactive Brokers to StackViewer?

Yes — both are read-only through SnapTrade. eToro uses OAuth on eToro's site; IBKR uses a read-only Flex Query ID and Token. StackViewer never sees your passwords and cannot trade or move money. Revoke either in one click.

Can StackViewer place trades on my eToro or Interactive Brokers account?

No. Both tokens are read-only and trading is not supported for either broker through SnapTrade.

How often does the data sync?

Three times a day, with values refreshed roughly every 30 minutes during market hours. A first IBKR import can take 24–72 hours because IBKR delivers data in scheduled daily windows.

Are eToro CFDs mixed in with my real holdings?

No. CFD positions are labelled separately from real invested assets, so your combined return and risk metrics are never silently distorted by leveraged exposure.

What data does StackViewer import?

Positions, trade history and cash balances from both brokers, plus dividends where reported. eToro CFDs are imported and tagged as CFDs; IBKR data arrives via read-only Flex Query.
