Thus, there is no way I can increase the trading lot or set it temporarily to catch up with the provider, only to add there real funds from my pocket. The system is just useless, I had 560 dollars on my account and 560 from the provider, available funds 95%, and the lot drops by 0.01, when the trading lot is 0.02, 0.03, etc. Because of this, the provider's lot is constantly falling forward, a little more and there would be no point in trading on signals, because you still have to pay for the signal, and the profit is decreasing because of the falling lot. It would be impossible to make some tolerance if the deposit is slightly different, so that the lot is not recalculated, or right up to a dollar should be kept and +5%, as the maximum can be set only 95%. It would be better if they left me to choose what percentage of lots to use.
I also confirm that the subscriber's volumes are ABOVE falling instead of growing synchronously like the provider's.
In addition to the above, I would like to note the following for DEVELOPERS:
The article, which by the way is very useful, meticulously discusses the issue of funds management and provides a mechanism for calculating lots:
"
Let's consider the work of the volume management system by example:
Calculation of the ratio of the Provider's and Subscribers' transaction volumes:
Subscriber1: (40,000 * 0.5) / 15,000 = 1.3333 (133.33%)
Subscriber2: (5,000 * 0.35) / 15,000 = 0.1166 (11.66%)
Subscriber1: Subscriber1's leverage (1:200) is greater than the Provider's (1:100), so no correction for leverage
Subscriber2: 0.1166 * (50 / 100) = 0.0583 (5.83%)
Subscriber1: 1,3333 * 1,2700 = 1,6933 (169.33%)
Subscriber2: 0,0583 * 1,2700 = 0,0741 (7.41%)
Subscriber1: 160% or a factor of 1.6
Subscriber2: 7% or a factorof0.07
Thus, under these conditions, the Provider's transaction of 1 lot will be copied:
- in the account of Subscriber1 in the amount of 160% - a volume of 1.6 lots- on the account of Subscriber2 at the rate of 7% - volume of0.07 lots
"
There is one point missing here, which I would like to ask DEVELOPERS to take into account when creating the next build of the terminal.
Here is the point: brokers' trading conditions are different. Let's touch upon only one point, it is the minimum lot and the step of lot change. For some brokers it is equal to 0.01 and 0.01, for others 0.1 and 0.1, for others 0.1 and 0.01 respectively.
The mechanism of lot calculation at the subscriber in accordance with the above example is oriented only to the lot step of 0.1, because rounding down occurs. Therefore, I HAVE to ask you to take into account the proposed trading conditions of brokers and round up in accordance with the step of lot differentiation offered by them (if the step is 0.1, then the mechanism is as it is (round up to tenths) at the moment, if the step is 0.01, then do not round up, but take it with hundredths), because otherwise the signals of the provider begin to lose their attractiveness due to lagging behind the trading conditions of the subscriber.
There is another section in the article:
"One of the most important features is the fact that the supplier and the subscriber do not necessarily need to have accounts on the same trade server. This ensures minimal delays between the execution of a trade operation by the supplier and its repetition on the subscriber's account. This is possible thanks to the new Signal Servers, which are cloud-based and located worldwide. At the same time, the best execution quality will be ensured if the provider and the subscriber are running on the same trade server." "
Actually - this is a moot point, which is why the mechanism of lot recalculation for the subscriber also needs to be reconsidered.
The point is that in addition to the technical performance on signal synchronisation as such, which of course will be better on the same server of the provider and the subscriber,there is also the concept of liquidity of the financial instrument, brokers for which provide different levels.
Therefore, it is sometimes impossible to reach faster, but to get the same level of liquidity even in the presence of small delays, called slippage, and thus, from a profitable transaction of the provider the subscriber will get a loss on the same server. At the same time, being served by another broker, even with large delays in signal transmission, due to higher liquidity the subscriber will synchronise a profit and not a loss.
And this is not theoretical reasoning, it has already been tested in practice.
How are the top 10 Signals formed?
Formation is based on several criteria....
do I have to let my computer live signal so that I can copy?
or do I have to use a VPS?
apakah saya harus membiarkan computer saya tetap hidup supaya signal bisa saya copy?
atau apakah saya harus menggunakan vps?
apakah saya harus membiarkan computer saya tetap hidup supaya signal bisa saya copy?
atau apakah saya harus menggunakan vps?
this has been questioned so many times, the answer is : YES, you must always online.
