FAQ Section

Q: How does proportional trading differ from fixed-amount copying?
A: Proportional trading adjusts position sizes dynamically based on the trader's activity, while fixed-amount uses consistent position sizes regardless of the trader's position size.

Q: What happens if I exceed the recommended multiplier?
A: Higher multipliers increase your effective leverage, potentially leading to greater losses or liquidation risks. We strongly advise staying within recommended ranges.

Q: Can I change my multiplier after establishing a copy relationship?
A: Yes, you can adjust your settings at any time, with changes applying to subsequent trades.

Q: How is the maximum follow amount enforced?
A: Once your allocated margin reaches this limit, new trades won't trigger until existing positions reduce your utilized margin below the threshold.

Q: What factors influence the adjustment factor?
A: Market volatility, trader performance history, and your risk profile all contribute to the dynamic calculation.

Q: Why can't I set TP/SL beyond the specified limits?
A: These safeguards prevent excessive risk exposure and align with platform risk management policies.
