What is a proportional copying mode?
The Proportional mode adjusts the size of each copied trade based on the ratio between your account equity and the Trader’s at the time the trade is executed. This smart, flexible system helps you copy trades in a way that fits your available funds, so even if your account funds are smaller or larger than the Trader’s, you still follow the same strategy in a size that makes sense for you.
How does it work?
You can also set a Ratio – this is a multiplier that fine-tunes how much of the Trader’s trade is copied to your account. It provides more control over the copied trade volume.
Formula:
Volume copied to Investor = Ratio set by Investor x Volume of Trader’s Transaction x (Investor’s Equity ÷ Trader’s Equity)
Example: Higher Equity than Trader's
Ratio: 1.00
Trader’s Equity: 2,000 USD
Your Equity: 5,000 USD
Trader’s Trade Volume: 2.50 lots
Copied Volume = 1.0 × 2.5 × (5,000 ÷ 2,000) = 6.25 lots
Since your Equity is higher, the copied volume is larger.
Example: Lower Equity than Trader’s
Ratio: 2.50
Trader’s Equity: 8,000 USD
Your Equity: 2,000 USD
Trader’s Trade Volume: 2.00 lots
Copied Volume = 2.5 × 2.0 × (2,000 ÷ 8,000) = 1.25 lots
A lower Equity means the copied trade is smaller than the original.
This mode offers the flexibility to follow strategies at a scale that aligns with your investment, all while maintaining proportionality and risk awareness.
