By Balance: Subscriber lot = Trader lot * (Subscriber invested balance to this subscription +-Profits and Losses / Trader balance)
Example: Assume master opens position Trader lot = 0.5. When opening the position, Subscriber invested balance = 1000 and Trader balance = 10000
In this case, Subscriber lot = 0.5 * 1000/10000 = 0.05 lot will be opened for the subscriber
By Balance * Ratio: Subscriber lot = Trader lot * (Subscriber invested balance to this subscription +-Profits and Losses / Trader balance) * Ratio
Example: Assume master opens position Trader lot = 0.5. When opening the position, Subscriber invested balance = 1000 and Trader balance = 10000
Assume Copying ratio for the subscription is Ratio = 2
In this case, Subscriber lot = 0.5 * 1000/10000 * 2 = 0.1 lot will be opened for the subscriber
By Equity: Subscriber lot = Trader lot * (Subscriber equity from the invested balance to this subscription +-Profits and Losses / Trader equity)
Example, let's assume a master opens a position: Trader lot = 0.5. When opening the position, Subscriber equity = 1000 and Trader equity = 10000.
In this case, Subscriber lot = 0.5 * 1000/10000 = 0.05 lot will be opened for the subscriber.
By Equity * Ratio: Subscriber lot = Trader lot * Subscriber equity from the invested balance to this subscription +-Profits and Losses/ Trader equity) * Ratio
Example, let's assume a master opens a position: Trader lot = 0.5. When opening the position, Subscriber equity = 1000 and Trader equity = 10000. Copying ratio for the subscription is Ratio = 2. In this case, Subscriber lot = 0.5 * 1000/10000 * 2 = 0.1 lot will be opened for the subscriber.
By Ratio: Subscriber lot = Trader lot * Ratio
With this allocation type, the subscriber can copy the strategy exactly as the master, assuming that the copier and the master both have the same balance (or very similar). Please note, that copier's balance is the invested sum that was deposited to this subscription.
To copy the master with the same lot size, choose Ratio = 1. Assume Master opens position Trader lot = 0.5. Then, subscriber copied lot will be = 0.5 * 1 = 0.5
By Free Margin: Subscriber lot = Trader lot * (Subscriber free margin / Trader free margin)
Example, let's assume a master opens a position: Trader lot = 0.5. When opening the position, Subscriber free margin = 1000 and Trader free margin = 10000. In this case, Subscriber lot = 0.5 * 1000/10000 = 0.05 lot will be opened for the subscriber.
By Fixed Lot Allocation: Subscriber lot = Ratio
If a Copier sets a fixed lot = 0.03 then all Copier's positions will be copied by volume equal to 0.03 (For DJ/NQ/SP/Oil indices... min trading volume is 0.1). In this case, 0.03 lot will be opened for the Subscriber.
