Metatrader 4 Signal Lot Size not copied?
Sergey Golubev, 2013.08.14 07:40
And there is some changes related to lot size/volume made in one of the build of Metatrader:
===========
Signals: Changed the algorithm for calculation of the copied
deal's volume in case a Signal Source and a Subscriber have different
leverages:
Current algorithm: A deal volume is changed in
direct ratio to the correlation of a Signal Source's leverage with a
Subscriber's one. It means that if a Signal Source having a leverage of
1:100 opens a deal of 1 lot, a Subscriber having a leverage of 1:500
will open a deal of 5 lots in case of 100% copying and a deposit
matching by size and currency. A subscriber having a leverage of 1:10
will open a deal of 0.1 lots in similar conditions.
New algorithm: If
subscriber's leverage exceeds the one of the Signal Source, it does not
affect a volume of a copied deal. Otherwise, the deal volume is changed
in direct ratio to the correlation of a Signal Source's leverage with a
Subscriber's one.
It means that if a Signal Source having a
leverage of 1:100 opens a deal of 1 lot, a Subscriber having a leverage
of 1:500 will open a deal of 1 lot in case of 100% copying and a deposit
matching by size and currency. A subscriber having a leverage of 1:10
will open a deal of 0.1 lots in similar conditions

About rounding of ratio, please read the Frequently Asked Questions about the Signals service point 15. How the lot size itself is rounded I am not sure, in your example (10% applied to 0.20 lot) it seems you are right. Can you provide more details ?And this is the article about:

Can you change the ratio in which a signal is subscribed to?
Alain Verleyen, 2014.02.04 13:31
You have only 2 ways to act on the calculated ratio :
- Increase "% of deposit used" in Signals settings.
- Add more capital to your account.
- Free trading apps
- Over 8,000 signals for copying
- Economic news for exploring financial markets

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to configure the lot size increase of the trades that I have subscribed from my signal provider. Is this something doable in MT4?
Thanks,
