Account Copier’s Advanced Lot Scaling
Beside the main method of scaling lot on the sub-account, there are additional advanced account copier’s lot scaling. For example:
Account Copier lot scaling: Equity Percent
This mode allows you to risk the same percent of capital both on slave and master terminals.
1 Scenario: SlaveLotSize = RiskPcntEquity / (MasterOpenPricePips – MasterStopLossPips)
2 Scenario: SlaveLotSize = SlaveBalance * MasterLotSize / MasterBalance
Scenario 1 Example:
Master order price 1.54298; StopLoss 1.555; RiskPcntEquity = 15.00
MasterOpenPrice: 1.54298
MasterStopLoss: 1.555
RiskPcntEquity = 15.00
SlaveLotSize = RiskPcntEquity / (MasterOpenPricePips – MasterStopLossPips) = 15.00 / (154298 – 155500) = 15.00 / 1202 = 0.012479201331114808652246256239601 = aprox. 0.01
Slave Lot size will be 0.01
Scenario 2 Example:
Order was opened on master, size = 8 lots without Stop Loss. Current balance on master = 4999740.00
Current balance on slave = 99947.07 . Mode = RiskPcntEquity.
MasterLotSize: 8
MasterBalance: 4999740.00
SlaveBalance: 99947.07
SlaveLotSize = SlaveBalance * MasterLotSize / MasterBalance = 99947.07 * 8 / 4999740.00 = 799576.56 / 4999740.00 = 0.15992362802865749018948985347238 = Aprox. 0.16
Slave Lot size will be 0.16
Account Copier lot scaling: Free Margin Percent
Sub-account lot calculated as AccountFreeMargin()/FMP.FreeMarginBasis * FMP.FreeMarginPcnt/100.
Account Copier lot scaling: Percent by Balance, method # 2
We have described account copier lot scaling as percent by account balance in our previous article ” account copier’s lot scaling“, but there is additional method for account copier lot scaling as percent by account balance. For this method used external parameter ratio risk.
Balance (2)
slaveLotSize = masterLotSize * (SlaveBalance/MasterBalance) * Ratio (risk)
Example:
MasterLotSize = 1.50
MasterBalance = 30000.00
SlaveBalance = 60000.00
Ratio (risk) = 4.00
slaveLotSize = masterLotSize * (SlaveBalance/MasterBalance) * Ratio (risk) = 1.50 * (60000.00/30000.00) * 4.00 = 1.50 * 2.00 * 4.00 = 12.00
Also can be used other account copier’s lot scaling options: martingale, own money management etc.
