Proportional scaling ensures that copied trades are sized relative to your own account balance or equity compared to the Leader’s account.
This helps maintain consistent risk exposure across different account sizes.
Why It Matters
Leaders and Auto-Copiers usually operate with different account balances.
Without proportional scaling:
- A large trade from a high-balance Leader could be too large for a smaller account.
- Risk exposure could become disproportionate.
- Margin usage could increase unexpectedly.
Proportional scaling adjusts position size to reflect the relative capital available.
Key Benefits
Proportional scaling helps:
- Maintain balanced risk management
- Prevent oversized positions
- Align trade exposure with available capital
- Improve consistency across multiple copied trades
Important
Proportional scaling controls position size — it does not eliminate risk.
Losses and profits remain dependent on market conditions and the Leader’s strategy.
You remain responsible for monitoring:
- Total exposure
- Margin level
- Risk allocation
