We recommend you shall use PROPORTIONAL with Parameter Value= 1.0
You can choose any 1 of 3 available modes and customize a special parameter, which will help you manage your risks more efficiently when copying transactions according to the chosen strategy. The parameter must be nothing but positive, fall within the range of 0.01 to 100.00, and have a precision of two decimal places.
1. Proportional is recommend and used as preset.
Description:
Transactions from a Trader’s account are copied with the volume, which is automatically defined by the system based on the ratio of the funds (Equity) in the Investor’s and the Trader’s accounts at the moment each transaction is performed. The parameter acts as an extra multiplier applied to the volume of the copied transaction in addition to the equity ratio.
Calculation:
<Volume copied to Investor> = <Value set by Investor> x <Volume of Trader’s Transaction> x ( <Investor’s Equity> / <Trader’s Equity> )
Example 1:
Parameter value = 1.00
The Trader’s Equity = 2,000 USD
The Investor’s Equity = 5,000 USD
The Trader opens a position of 2.50 lots -> The Investor copies that position as 1.00 x 2.50 x (5000/2000) = 6.25 lots
Example 2:
Parameter value = 2.50
The Trader’s Equity = 8,000 USD
The Investor’s Equity = 2,000 USD
The Trader opens a position of 2.00 lots -> The Investor copies that position as 2.50 x 2.00 x (2000/8000) = 1.25 lots
