Asking about volume/lot size calculating for subscribers so I want to remind the follolwing:
- This is one of the main link about calculating lot size for subscribers Signal Subscribers starting from the words "Copying Trading Operations, Volume Calculation"
- List of changes in MetaTrader 5 Client Terminal builds :
=============
Signals: Changed the algorithm for calculation of the copied deal's volume in case a Signal Source and a Subscriber have different leverages:
Current algorithm: A deal volume is changed in direct ratio to the correlation of a Signal Source's leverage with a Subscriber's one. It means that if a Signal Source having a leverage of 1:100 opens a deal of 1 lot, a Subscriber having a leverage of 1:500 will open a deal of 5 lots in case of 100% copying and a deposit matching by size and currency. A subscriber having a leverage of 1:10 will open a deal of 0.1 lots in similar conditions.
New algorithm: If subscriber's leverage exceeds the one of the Signal Source, it does not affect a volume of a copied deal. Otherwise, the deal volume is changed in direct ratio to the correlation of a Signal Source's leverage with a Subscriber's one.
It means that if a Signal Source having a leverage of 1:100 opens a deal of 1 lot, a Subscriber having a leverage of 1:500 will open a deal of 1 lot in case of 100% copying and a deposit matching by size and currency. A subscriber having a leverage of 1:10 will open a deal of 0.1 lots in similar conditions.

And there is some changes related to lot size/volume made in one of the build of Metatrader:

And the main page for subscribers to understand about which lot size they will have when subscribe - this one https://www.metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/signals/signal_subscriber (started from the words "Copying Trading Operations, Volume Calculation"). Same in Russian https://www.metatrader5.com/ru/terminal/help/signals/signal_subscriber (if someone prefer russian more than english for example).
Just for information.
and finally :
following a signal on cent account - 100x times too small trades

As I remember - volume depends on deposit (your deposit size and signal provider deposit size)

or ... to make it shorter :
Different Standard Lot Size between subscriber broker and signal broker

The only way to increase your lot size is by investing more money.Actually, this cannot be the truth alone. I have the same problem - options set to use 95 % of deposit. My deposit is even a bit larger than the signal account. The right following of the mql5 signals in mt4 is really not easy.
