The copy mode will decide the proportion of provider's lot size that is copied to your account.
You will choose one copy mode when you subscribe to a provider. The available modes are:
- Equivalent Used Margin
- Fixed Lots
- Fixed Multiples
The modes
- Equivalent Used Margin: The copier order's volume is scaled by the ratio between your account's margin level and the provider's margin level.
- Fixed Lot: The copied order opens at a fixed lot size that you set, regardless of the provider's lot size.
- Fixed Multiples: The copied order's volume = Provider's volume * Multiplier value that you set. The multiplier value can range from 0.1 to 50 multiples.

Round up rules
Round up is only applied to "Equivalent Used Margin" mode. If the lot size is smaller than the minimum lot (0.0001 lot), the copied order lot size will be auto adjusted to the min lot.
Change the copy mode
A change applies to new positions only. Existing positions will keep the original lot size.
You can change the copy mode for a subscription by following below steps:
- Go to tab Copier
- Click Manage > More settings
- Select the copy mode you prefer
The mode does not change what you pay
Spread, commission, swap and the performance fee work the same way under every mode.
