Autoscale ensures that when a Leader opens a trade, the Auto-Copier’s trade size is calculated proportionally based on:
- The Leader’s account balance or equity
- The Auto-Copier’s allocated balance or equity
- The selected Ratio Multiplier
This helps maintain proportional risk exposure between accounts of different sizes.
Autoscale Formula
The copied trade size is calculated as:
Autocopier Trade Size =
Leader Trade Size × (Autocopier Balance / Leader Balance) × Multiplier
Example
Assume:
- Leader Balance: $10,000
- Leader opens: 1 lot
- Your Balance/Equity: $2,000
- Ratio Multiplier: 1.5
Calculation:
1 × ($2,000 / $10,000) × 1.5
= 1 × 0.2 × 1.5
= 0.3 lots
You would therefore open a trade of 0.3 lots.
What the Multiplier Does
The Ratio Multiplier allows you to increase or decrease risk relative to the Leader:
- Multiplier = 1 → proportional copying
- Multiplier > 1 → higher exposure than the Leader
- Multiplier < 1 → lower exposure than the Leader
Important Notes
- Autoscale uses balance or equity depending on platform configuration.
- If your balance changes significantly, copied trade sizes will adjust accordingly.
- Autoscale does not eliminate risk — it only adjusts position size proportionally.
