How to copy Signals with exact lot sizes

[Audai Louri]

Hi All,

I'm new here, but would really appreciate if someone can advise me on something.

I'm subscribed to a signal provider and want to copy his exact lot sizes regardless of our account differences.  I keep noticing that the lot size changes accordingly to the account fundings.

So my question is, is there a way I can copy his exact Lot Size regardless of the difference in our accounts? So if he places an order of 0.1 it places 0.1 in my account and not change it 0.6 cause my account is larger.

Would appreciate any advice.

Thank you,

[Eleni Anna Branou]

I don't think that there is a straightforward way to accomplish that.

The only I can think of is to manually adjust the percentage of your account's participation (in Tools >> Options >> Signals tab), in order to keep the copy ratio between the 2 accounts to 100%.

Thanks for your reply Eleni, 

I thought of that. The only Issue is if money is withdrawn or added to the signal provider account the ratios will go out of balance.

You are taking 1/10 of signal's positions, because you obviously have about the 1/10 in capital.

You can increase the lot size of your trades (search the market for that), but you will increase risk and DD as well and it's highly unadvisable.

For same lot size your subscriber needs a bit more balance (due to the 95% maximum participation percentage in signal copying) and the same or more leverage.

If tries other ways, it will only trading at higher risk and will destroy account eventually.
