Hello,

I follow a strategy provider and on September 4 he closed a position in profit. Part of that position was also closed in profit on my account but the part that was not direclty closed is closing in partial orders since then, and up till today, in a loss.

Can you explain me how that is possible?

Thanks in advance.

Peter van den Berg

Hi Peter,

We had a look at this issue. The position closed in profit by the strategy provider has been closed on your subaccount as well. Subsequent partial closings of the positions are related balance operations on the strategy provider's and followers accounts which cause equity to equity ratio changes and balance recalculation of the followers positions. In other words, when fees are withdrawn from your account and deposited to your stategy provider's account. then some positions on your account need to close so that the equity to equity ratio is restored.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Hello Panagiotis,

Thanks for your explanation. Is it possible to turn that automatic equity to equity adjustment off so that positions will not be closed automatically?

Peter

Hi Peter,

No this is not possible. This is the fundamental copying logic of cTrader Copy.

Best Regards,
