How to set quentity when following?
06 Apr 2021, 06:35


As topic, now just use demo account(1000 EUR) to test.

The provider is 1500 USD and trade 0.20 quantity silver, the follower is 1000 EUR and only trade 0.03 (160 volume), so why there's difference and how to set them? 

Thanks for answering.

Hi BUCKCHTZ,

Can you please provide us with an example where this actually happened? It should not work the way your described it. Copying should work on an equity to equity basis.

1. Screenshot

 

2. Strategy name: HORN_Trader. It's just a test so it might not be searched(the system said some rules.)

3. Follower's account number and broker: Demo 3158779, IC Markets.

 

Thanks.

Hi BUCKCHTZ,

Based on what I see in your broker's settings 1 lot = 1000 Oz of silver. So a 0.2 quantity = 200 Oz. Hence the 160 Oz of the following account seem correct to me since it is the proportion of the equity of the following account.
