In the Ultima Markets App copy trading mode, you can choose from three different copy trading modes: Equivalent Used Margin, Fixed Lots, and Fixed Multiples. You can refer to the following instructions:
Equivalent Used Margin
- How It Works:
Follows the trader’s margin usage ratio. Your position size is adjusted based on the proportion of margin occupied in your account. - Advantages:- Fairer risk alignment
- Works even if leverage differs
- Reduces risk of margin call - Disadvantages:
- More complex to calculate
- Profit/loss may not be exactly proportional - Suitable For:
Beginners who want to match trader’s risk but worry about leverage/fund differences
Fixed Lot
- How It Works:
You set a constant lot size (e.g., 0.1 lots) regardless of the trader’s position size. - Advantages:
- Simple and predictable
- Clear risk control
- Avoids oversized trades - Disadvantages:
- May underperform trader’s results
- Not proportional to trader’s positions - Suitable For:
Conservative investors who want strict risk control
Fixed Multiple
- How It Works:
Copies the trader’s positions by a chosen multiplier (e.g., 1x, 2x), regardless of account size or leverage. - Advantages:
- Direct and easy to understand
- Profit/loss proportional to trader’s results - Disadvantages:
- Risk may differ greatly if account sizes are unequal
- Higher chance of margin call if leverage differs - Suitable For:
Experienced investors with similar account size to the trader
