Signals

[sparky7818]

I have a problem with a signal. The signals orders are modified on my account. For example if the signal provider enters a trade for 0.22 the trade appears on my account at 0.06 + 0.06 + 0.05

I don't mind that but when the take profit line is placed, the system places it at an achievable level. when I change the take profit position. the system changes it back. 

Is there a way that I can get the system to calculate the levels better?? I don't want to untick the copy stop loss/TP box because I will have to manually put them all on. Just would like the program a better calculation.

Go to platform's --- Tools / Options / Signals --- uncheck copy take profit and stoploss levels 

these levels generating by your signal provider

there is no other options that I know

Hi. How do one change the volume in which an signal enters an order automatically for you? e.g with a $200 account the order size that is copied from the signal provider is 0.01 lot but with a $2000 account the volume per trade stays 0.01 lot and doesn't multiply 10 times to 0.10 lot?  Thank you

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.

Change the Volume Size

Hi georg

The only way you can change the lot size (within the rules of MetaQuotes) is to adjust your deposit, % allocation and leverage. The article here should help.

Go to platform's --- Tools / Options / Signals --- change percent what you want ( no more 95% )

And you can calculate your lot size for any condition by yourself using this example -

Signal not copying full lots

Sergey Golubev, 2018.10.19 16:40

You can calculate your lot size using the following example (from General information on Trading Signals for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 article):

Let's consider a specific example of using the volumes management system:

1. Provider: balance 15 000 USD, leverage 1:100
2. Subscriber1: balance 40 000 EUR, leverage 1:200, deposit load percentage 50%
   
3. Subscriber2: balance 5 000 EUR, leverage 1:50, deposit load percentage 35%
4. EURUSD exchange rate = 1.2700
   

Calculation of Provider's and Subscriber's position volumes ratio:

1. Balances ratio considering specified part of the deposit in percentage terms:
   Subscriber1: (40 000 * 0,5) / 15 000 = 1,3333 (133.33%)
   Subscriber2: (5 000 * 0,35) / 15 000 = 0,1166 (11.66%)
   
2. After considering the leverages:
   Subscriber1: the leverage of Subscriber1 (1:200) is greater than Provider's one (1:100), thus correction on leverages is not performed
   Subscriber2: 0,1166 * (50 / 100) = 0,0583 (5.83%)
3. After considering currency rates of the deposits at the moment of calculation:
   Subscriber1: 1,3333 * 1,2700 = 1,6933 (169.33%)
   Subscriber2: 0,0583 * 1,2700 = 0,0741 (7.41%)
4. Total percentage value after the rounding (performed using a multistep algorithm):
   Subscriber1: 160% or 1.6 ratio
   Subscriber2: 7% or 0.07 ratio

Thus under the given conditions, Provider's deal with volume of 1 lot will be copied: 

- to Subscriber1 account in amount of 160% -  volume of 1.6 lots

- to Subscriber2 account in amount of 7% -  volume of 0.07 lots
