Equity to Equity ratio (Leverage not accounted for?)
10 Nov 2019, 17:38


EULA says the lot positions are based on the equity ratio of the strategy provider and the follower. Are there any plans to allow the follower to adjust the positions by the leverage differences from the provider to the follower account. 

 

For example, I see a lot of 500:1 strategy providers, well a follower can only have 30:1, In the EULA and before you agree to the term, its states that this can lead to stopouts on the followers account. This is an issue for the follower if they can not gain access to the same leverage as the strategy provider. 

 

Are there any plans to allow a reduced lotsize/position if the leverages do not match?

Hi Hedge Bitcoin,

No we do not have such plans since this would violate the equity to equity principle. It would be better to communicate with the strategy provider directly and ask about the margin requirements of the strategy before you start following.
