How the multiplier sizes each copy
Short answer
Follower size = leader size × multiplier. On futures, the part after the decimal point is placed in micros: 1.4 turns one mini into one mini and four micros.
Each copy link has its own multiplier, set in the Accounts List.
| Leader | Multiplier | Follower |
|---|---|---|
| 1 micro | ×1 | 1 micro |
| 1 mini | ×0.5 | 5 micros |
| 1 mini | ×1.4 | 1 mini and 4 micros |
| 10 MNQ | ×1.5 | 15 MNQ |
- A size smaller than one micro is not copied: at ×0.1, a 1-micro leader trade gives nothing.
- On CFD accounts the multiplier applies to lots. See Copy futures to a CFD account.
- Want the same number of contracts whatever the leader does? Use a fixed size instead.
