Account Copier’s Lot Scaling methods. The most frequently used following methods of sub-accounts lot calculation:
Account Copier lot scaling: Fixed Lot
Lot on subaccount doesn’t depends from lot on general account (master account)
Sample:
1) MasterLot = 0.1, Fixed = 1.0 => SlaveLot = 1.0
2) MasterLot = 1.0, Fixed = 1.0 => SlaveLot = 1.0
3) MasterLot = 6.0, Fixed = 0.1 => SlaveLot = 0.1
Account Copier lot scaling: Multiply Lot
Slave lot calculated as master lot multiplied by coefficient.
Sample:
1) MasterLot = 0.1, MS.LotRatio = 1.0 => SlaveLot = 0.1*1.0 = 0.1
2) MasterLot = 1.0, MS.LotRatio = 2.0 => SlaveLot = 1.0*2.0 = 2.0
3) MasterLot = 6.0, MS.LotRatio = 0.5 => SlaveLot = 6.0*0.5 = 3.0
Account Copier Lot Scaling: Balance
lot on sub-account calculated as percent from account balance.
Sample:
1) BP.BalanceBasis = 1 000.0, BP.BalancePcnt = 10.0, current AccountBalance = 12 000.0
Lot = 12000.0/1000.0 * 10.0/100 = 1.2
2) BP.BalanceBasis = 500.0, BP.BalancePcnt = 5.0, current AccountBalance = 5 000.0
Lot = 5000.0/500.0 * 5.0/100 = 0.5
