For our multiplier options we base this on a percentage of the master trade. You may be used to other copiers using a multiplier value such as 1, however, we believe a percentage based multiplier is far more flexible.
If you wish to copy the master position size exactly, with a 1:1 copy size, you would use a risk percentage of 100%.
As an example, keeping things simple, if you use Lot Multiplier at 100%, a 10 lot trade on the master will copy as 10 lots on the slave, as 100% of 10 is 10.
