Copier risk and trade sizing
Risk type determines how follower volume is calculated. Risk value supplies the lot size or multiplier for the selected mode.
How it works
The new GUI form starts with Fixed lot 0.01. Risk value must be between 0.01 and 500. The UI shows lots for Fixed lot and a multiplier for the other modes.
Fixed lot uses the entered follower volume for each copied trade. Lot multiplier scales the master lot size. Balance and Equity multiplier use the account ratio with the selected multiplier.
Fixed balance multiplier uses the entered reference master balance; that balance must be greater than zero. Review the mode-specific formula shown with the selector.
Broker volume steps and limits also affect what can be opened. Review Force minimum lot, Force maximum lot, Contract alignment and Lot adjustment in Advanced Settings.
Controls and settings
Risk type
Risk type determines how follower volume is calculated. Risk value supplies the lot size or multiplier for the selected mode.
Fixed lot: Every copied trade opens with exactly this many lots.
Lot multiplier: The master's lot size times this value: 0.5 copies half the lots.
Balance multiplier: Lots follow the ratio of the follower's balance to the master's, times this value. 1 = the master's risk.
Equity multiplier: Like the balance multiplier, but compares the two accounts' equity.
Fixed balance multiplier: Like the balance multiplier, but against a fixed master balance you enter instead of the master's real one.
Risk value
For Fixed lot, enter the follower volume in lots. For other modes, enter the multiplier. Accepted range: 0.01–500. The new form starts with 0.01 lots.
Fixed master balance
The master balance lots are sized against, for example 100000.
