signal following

 

HI, I got a question. I'm following a signal with my demo account, exactly the same broker as the signal provider etc. but when my signal provider makes a trade with 0.02 volume my own system makes only a trade with 0.01 volume how is that possible?

thank you!

 
and I got more balance in my account than my signal provider so that would not be the problem I assume

The lot size is calculated automatically and proportionally to your account's balance, leverage and currency.

In other words if you are using a smaller account, you will copy with a smaller lot size.

Did you read my full answer?

Do you have the same or higher leverage and/or currency?

If yes, then you've put a smaller than the maximum 95% participation rate in signal settings.

I got 1:100 he got 1:400 and we use the samy currency. could the difference in leverage be the problem?

Of course, you are using 4 times lower leverage, than means that you have 4 times less margin/buying power.

So if I make a demo account with the same leverage as him I will copy the exact trades? ( volume )
