How to choose a master trader to copy?

The data of the master trader includes earnings and the number of copyists, commissions, trading pairs used by the master trader, profit factor and order direction, and many other factors, which you can check before deciding to copy.

Before the start of copying, you need to set the deposit percentage and select the amount of funds to invest in a specific master trader.

OctaFX does not charge any additional commissions-the only commission you pay is the trader’s commission, which will be specified separately and charged in US dollars per lot based on the transaction volume.

How copying volume is calculated

The volume of copied transactions depends on the account leverage and equity of the master trader and the copier, and is calculated as follows:

Transaction volume (copy transaction) = equity (replicator) / equity (master trader) x leverage (replicator) / leverage (trader) Master) x trading volume (master trader)

For example: The net value of the master trader’s account is 500 USD, the leverage is 1:200, the net value of the replicator’s account is 200 USD, and the leverage is 1:100.

Open 1 lot trading in the master trader account. The volume of the copy transaction is 200/500 × 100/200 × 1 = 0.2 lots.

What is the deposit percentage?

A deposit percentage is an option you set before copying to help you control risks.

It can be any percentage from 1% to 100%. After you set this parameter, if your balance falls by the set amount (20%) from the current net value according to the following formula, then the new transaction will not be copied:

Net value (copier) <(100%-deposit Percentage) × balance (replicator)

When copying the master trader, you can modify it.
