Trade Size for Signals

[Algonaut]

Hello.

I am new to Forex, MQL and MT5. 

I subscribed to a signal and so far it's doing well. But, the trade size is tiny.  The profits have been under a dollar. 

How to I change the size of the trade. 

I don't where I can adjust the trade size.? 

Thanks in advance for any help.

If you already use the maximum 95% account participation in signal copying, in your signal's settings, there is nothing else to do in order to increase the lot size of your copied trades, except increase your balance.

Do you have the same (or higher) leverage as the signal provider?

If for example your leverage is 1:30 and the signal provider's is 1:500 you have 16 times lower copying ratio, even with the same balance.

Then you should have 4-5 times higher lot size, since your balance is 4-5 times more.

Check your copying ratio information in your Journal, where it is explained how the balances and leverages are calculated.

Also make sure you've done everything as described here:
