What Are Leader Filters?
Leader Filters allow Auto-Copiers to control which trades are eligible for copying based on trade size and direction.
Only trades that meet the defined filter conditions will be copied.
This feature helps manage risk and exposure.
Key Filter Settings
Direction
Choose which trade direction you want to copy:
- All
- Buy only
- Sell only
Minimum Lots
The smallest trade volume that can be copied.
If the Leader opens a trade below this size, it will not be copied.
Maximum Lots
The largest trade volume that can be copied.
If the Leader opens a trade above this size, it will not be copied.
How Leader Filters Work
If a Leader opens a trade:
- Within the defined lot range → the trade is copied
- Below the minimum lot → the trade is ignored
- Above the maximum lot → the trade is ignored
Filters apply only to new trades after they are activated.
How to Configure Leader Filters
- Log in to your Client Area.
- Go to Social Trading.
- Navigate to My Portfolio / My Copy Stats.
- Select the Leader you are copying.
- Scroll to the Leader Filters section.
- Click Edit.
- Configure:
- Direction
- Minimum Lots
- Maximum Lots
- Direction
- Click Save Changes.
Example
If your settings are:
- Direction: All
- Minimum Lot: 1
- Maximum Lot: 5
Scenario 1
Leader opens 0.5 lots → Not copied (below minimum).
Scenario 2
Leader opens 4 lots → Copied (within range).
Scenario 3
Leader opens 6 lots → Not copied (above maximum).
Important Notes
- Leader Filters apply only to new trades after configuration.
- Existing copied positions are not affected.
- Improper filter settings may result in fewer trades being copied.
Leader Filters are a risk management tool and should be configured carefully.
