The Risk Factor is a setting that defines the trade size that needs to be copied on the Slave. 

This is the list of all the Risk Factor methods available in our Trade Copier: 

  • Auto Risk (on Equity, Balance or Free Margin)
    • the Slave order size is proportional to the Master order size and proportional to the Master account size. This method allows you to be exposed with the same level of risk between the Master and the Slave proportionally to the account size.
    • the value is the Auto Risk ratio applied, 1 will take the same risk, 2 twice the risk, 0.5 half the risk.

 

  • Multiplier (Notional) or Multiplier (Lot) 
    • the Slave order size is a multiplier applied to the Master order size. With Multiplier(Lot) the contact size is not considered.
    • the master order will be multiplied by the Value provided

 

  • Fixed Lots or Fixed Units
    • the Slave order size is fixed for each order no matter the master order size and the Equity, Balance or Free Margin of both Slave and Master accounts.
    • the slave order will be fixed with the Value provided, 1 lot=100 000 units

 

  • Fixed Leverage (on Equity, Balance or Free Margin) 
    • the Slave order size is fixed and is defined function of a wished leverage that the order has to have on the Slave account.
    • a value of 1 will send an order of 1 lot for each 100 000 EUR/USD/CHF
