Copy futures to a CFD account

The CFD platforms in Thor are MetaTrader 4 and 5, cTrader, DXTrade and TradeLocker. Thor maps the symbols for you, but the size needs your attention: a contract and a lot are different amounts.

1. Create the copy link between the futures and the CFD account.
2. Open its Symbol Mapping and check each instrument you trade. Brokers name CFDs differently: the Nasdaq 100 can be NAS100, US100 or USTEC, and EUR/USD EURUSD, EURUSD.r or EURUSDm.
3. Set the multiplier so one leader unit becomes the size you want on the follower.
4. Place one small trade and check the follower’s size before trading normally.

Use one copy link per instrument group when the right multiplier differs between instruments.

CFD markets trade around the clock: copies between CFD accounts keep running during the daily futures pause at 16:00 Chicago time.
