Start with a simple mode and a small test. The receiver broker still applies its own minimum volume, maximum volume, volume step, contract size, leverage and margin rules.
Fixed lots
The receiver uses the configured fixed volume for each copied open, subject to receiver limits.
Use this for:
- a predictable first test;
- separating copier routing from proportional sizing;
- a receiver that should always use the same small size.
Lot multiplier
The receiver volume is based on the source volume multiplied by the configured value.
Examples:
- source
0.10, multiplier1.0requests0.10; - source
0.10, multiplier0.5requests0.05.
The final permitted volume can still be affected by receiver minimums and volume steps.
Balance multiplier
The receiver volume scales using the available source and receiver balance information plus the configured multiplier.
Use it only after confirming that both account balances are current and that proportional balance sizing fits the intended risk.
If required balance information is unavailable, the action should not be treated as safely sized.
Risk percent
Risk percent sizes the receiver trade from:
- receiver risk percentage;
- receiver balance information;
- entry price;
- stop-loss distance;
- receiver instrument specification.
A usable stop loss is required. If the source open does not have a valid stop loss, DaneTrades should block the risk-based open rather than invent a risk distance.
What is not a current Cloud mode
Do not use older Local Copier documentation as proof of a Cloud setting. The current Cloud copier editor is the source of truth for available modes.
Test a sizing change
- Use one source and one receiver.
- Use one mapped symbol.
- Place one tiny source trade.
- Open Trade activity.
- Confirm the requested and receiver size.
- Change one sizing input at a time.
If the size is rejected
Check:
- minimum and maximum receiver volume;
- receiver volume step;
- free margin;
- receiver leverage;
- contract size differences;
- stop-loss availability for risk percent.
A broker rejection is not corrected by increasing the size or repeatedly reconnecting the account.
