The CopyTrader App offers Equivalent Used Margin, Fixed Lots and Fixed Multiples modes. Your selected mode determines how the size of each new copied trade is calculated.
How do the copy modes differ?
Copy Mode |
How the copied position size is determined |
|---|---|
Equivalent Used Margin |
Calculated using the applicable account, leverage, product and margin parameters of the Signal Provider and Copier |
Fixed Lots |
Uses the fixed lot size selected by the Copier |
Fixed Multiples |
Multiplies the Signal Provider's trade volume by the selected multiplier |
Will my results match the Signal Provider's?
No. The copy mode determines how trade size is calculated. It does not guarantee the same trading result as the Signal Provider.
Your profit or loss may differ because of execution prices, spreads, commissions, swap, account currency, margin requirements, leverage, available funds, position sizing, rounding or manual intervention.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Does changing my allocation affect copied trades?
Changing your allocation may increase or decrease your account's exposure and the margin required for your copied positions.
The effect depends on your account conditions and the applicable copy mode.
Where can I check copied-volume calculations?
See How are copied position sizes calculated? for the calculation inputs, examples, volume limits and Lot Round Up treatment.
