- Fixed Lots - If you want every trade to be copied using a fixed lot then check this option
- Lot multiplier - If a Lot multiplier is set to 1 this means the lot size will be copied exactly how it is in the MT5 Account. If this is set to 0.5 then lot size will be half of the MT5 Account. If it is set to 2 then lot size will be double the MT5 Account. If you have a 10k MT5 account and you are copying to a 1k MatchTrader account, this is 10x smaller. So lot multiplier should be set to 0.1 to keep the same risk.
- Risk Factor - This is set by default. Relative risk from Master to Slave. Assuming a Risk Factor of 1 and you use 1% risk on a Master of 100k, it will be adjusted to be 1% risk on a 50k Slave (or any amount). Using a Risk Factor of 2 the risk would be double on the Slave account. Using a Risk factor of 0.5 and the risk will be halved on the Slave.
- Max Daily Loss - Includes closed trades and running open trades and can be set in % of account or Monetary value ($). Once this loss has been reached for the day all trades will be closed. No more trades will be copied to MatchTrader. Max Daily Loss is reset at the end of the trading day and is tied to broker time.
