How to calculate Max Deposit Load (in %)? Use initial deposit or deposit ongoing as a based? 

Can we reduce our max deposit load?

Thank you

Use no more than [A] % — percentage value of your deposit that can be used for following provider's signals. For example, if your balance is 10,000 USD and 90% is specified here, then 9,000 USD will be used for following the signals. This affects the calculation of volumes of the deals performed when following the signals. The volume is calculated proportionally. See "Signal Subscribers" section for more information. It is strongly not recommended to change the deposit load if you already have positions opened according to a signal. This will lead to correction of volume of the open positions (volume increase or partial close at the current market price).

"max. deposit load" = maximum experienced deposit load

Forum on trading, automated trading systems and testing trading strategies

Its the percentage of the amount used for margin over equity.

The larger the value the larger the risk taken by the signal.

So, read whole the thread (some good discussion in there): defn: maximum deposit load

It means that the signal provider deposited more money to the account, and this max deposit load is calculated based on initial deposit.

Example:

• Signal provider started to trade with 300 dollars. He has subscribers.
• Signal provider is losing money, and to save his account - he deposited 1000 dollars more. And his subscribers were losing oney (because they were not deposited to their accounts, and he is winning because he deposited).
• And max deposit load is calculated based on initial 300 dollars.

sergey, if the calculated based on intial deposit so the signal's provider who make initial deposit with larger number probably will have smaller "max deposit load" than the signal's provider with small initial deposit?

and than the "max deposit load" will relate with how many lot per transaction that signal's provider do after inatial deposit?

Based your Example:

• Signal provider started to trade with 300 dollars. He has subscribers.

• Signal provider is losing money, and to save his account - he deposited 1000 dollars more. And his subscribers were losing oney (because they were not deposited to their accounts, and he is winning because he deposited).
• And max deposit load is calculated based on initial 300 dollars.

------>>> the max deposit load will be greater than 100%?
