Account type (standard lot, mini lot or micro lot) doesn't influence calculation of volume.

Provider doesn't know the subscribers and can't allow them or not.

Thank you for reply.

he signal system calculate subscriber lotsize based on account balance.

Example, if provider is using micro account, trade with 0.01 lot for $1000 account balance. However subscriber is using standard account with account balance $1000 and the signal system use the account balance for lotsize calculation, in this case the subscriber will get 0.01 lotsize too. However the money management is not correct, because of different of account type, subscriber account should have balance of $100,000 to open 0.01lot. So in signal system, subscriber is actually trading with 100X higher risk than the provider trading account.

So my point is account type should take into account when calculating the execution lotsize on subscriber account. Please correct me if I understood it wrongly.

Again, volume don't take account type (lot type) into the calculation. I doubt this will change, anyway you can try to make the suggestion to ServiceDesk.

If a provider trades 0.01 micro lot with $1000 and a subscriber trades also 1000$ but with standard lot, subscriber is effectivively 100x higher risk. He has to take that into account and capitalize sufficiently his account.

If you go to sleep you stop trading manually . . .  is this normal ?  if you turn off your PC you also turn off your EA . . .  if you turn off MT5 your turn off your EA.
