Duncan Marsh:
The max load % seems to be misleading. For example, if a trader has a low leverage, say 1:50 then naturally they will require more margin ('i.e. "deposit load") to trade with a small account, this does not mean there is a higher risk, in fact its more likely to be a lower risk as the trader only has access to as big a lot size as their account allows them. Traders with small accounts and high leverage, say 1:500 are more likely to be using bigger lot whilst using far less margin (i.e. "deposit load") and actually represent a greater risk to the subscriber. A better way to evaluate this would be to take the size of the account as a factor when calculating deposit load.

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

That is why the very profitable signals can be less reliable for subscribers
