What if my account balance is bigger than the signal provider?

[Ali Aboutera]

Hello All, 

I was wondering if I for example have an account of 10,000 USD and my signal provider has an account of 5,000 USD if he opens an order of 1.00 in volume, will that same order will be opened in the same volume or will it change since my account is double his account should it be 2.00?

 

Thank you

you can decrease "% of deposit used" for example.

Can you change the ratio in which a signal is subscribed to?

You have only 2 ways to act on the calculated ratio :

• Increase "% of deposit used" in Signals settings.
• Add more capital to your account.

Signal Settings? Hmm I am using FXCM as my broker but I can't seem to find the signals tab in the options?

I think - it may be related to the broker (IBFX does not have Signal tab too)/ So, no idea sorry.

Dear member,if your balance is greater than the leverage the signal provider gives,lessen it.It's just going to be simple subtraction.Thank you.If you don't want to loose more than you gamble..    #jgaj
