Question about Provider and Followers copy Lots calculate!

 

Dear MQL5 and members,


Im a Provider and I have question, about my capital/lotsize and Followers capital/lotsize ratio (I will abbreviate it as C/L).

As i know mql5 calculate follower lotsize based on that ratio.


Case 1: My capital is $100 open 1 lotsize (C/L=100) and that trade have  float profit is $50, so my equity is $150 (C/L=150)

Follower capital = $1,000 however setup "Use no more than 10% of deposit", so his copy capital = $1000 * 0.1 = $100, and will open 1 lots, the same with my account.

However when position have $50 float profit, his account equity = $1,050 and 10% of it is $105, less than my equity is $150. So question is: Will his lotsize decrease to $105/150=0.7 lots (150 is my account C/L).


Case 2: My capital is $100 open 1 lotsize (C/L=100) and that trade have  closed profit is $50, so my equity is $150,

Follower capital = $1,000 however setup "Use no more than 10% of deposit", so his copy capital = $1000 * 0.1 = $100, and will open 1 lots, the same with my account,

When position close with $50 profit, his account equity = $1,050 and 10% of it is $105, less than my equity is $150.

8 hours later my account open another 1 lots (C/L=150).

So question is: What is follower lotsize, is it $105/150=0.7 lots (150 is my account C/L) or MQL5 have an another algorithm to calculate this situation.


I think when follower use "Use no more than xx% of deposit" have a trouble about this two case. Pls answer me as soon as possible, i have an signal with small account and i worry if my follower setup this will make them loss


Thank you.

Thank you.

All copying ratio calculations are made on balance and not equity, so floating profit/loss doesn't take any part in this.

New orders lot size will be based on the copying ratio at the time of their opening.
