Wrong Lot Sizes get copied
Hello please read this article and calculate manually lot size also read this. Your calculation 1 lot provider = 0.18 lot subscriber, so 0.18 => 0.1%
- If the value is greater than 0.1% and is less than 1%, it is rounded to tenths. Examples: 0.11 => 0.1%, 0.25% => 0.3%.
Hello AlekseyP,
I already did it:
My free capital is 10,000 € (95% of 10526)
10,000 / 25,000 = 0.4
0.4 * (400 / 500) = 0.32
0.32 * 1,258 (EURUSD) = 0.40256
rounded > 0.4
2.42 * 0.4 = 0.97
0.97 lots should be copied. But in MetaTrader 4 the lot size is all the time 0.1 :-(

Why is my leverage in MetaTrader 1:10 and not 1:400 like it should be?

Hello,
I've a big problem. My broker is GKFX and I bought signals from SAPIENT https://www.mql5.com/en/signals/22769
But the lot-calculation is wrong. I'm using MetaTrader 4 and MQL5.
Signal provider
Equity: 25,000 $
Leverage: 1:500
Lot size: 2.42
Symbol: EURUSD
Price: 1.13197
Subscriber (Me)
Equity for use: 10,000 €
Leverage: 1:400
Lot size: 0.1 < too less, I can't reach break-even!
Can somebody help me? My broker told me that he can't do anything.
Kind regards,
Dennis
