The copy came out a different size
Short answer
The follower’s size is the leader’s times the multiplier, unless a fixed size is set. A copy can also be trimmed so it never carries the follower past its leader.
- Multiplier: on futures, decimals are placed in micros (×1.4 turns one mini into one mini and four micros), and a result under one micro is not copied. See How the multiplier sizes each copy.
- Fixed size: a copy link set to
=2opens two, whatever the leader opens. Additions then follow the leader in proportion, and a partial close that is too small to place waits for the leader’s next order. See Fixed size. - Futures and CFD: contracts and lots are different amounts. Set the multiplier per instrument.
- Never past the leader: on market orders, Thor trims or skips a copy that would carry the follower beyond its leader’s position, for example when you closed the follower by hand.
