FYI:

The Position modification is reflected on the provider's page, just not on the followers accounts

We created a test strategy yesterday and deleted, but I have one for these tests that I can use:

https://ct.icmarkets.com/copy/strategy/15330?c=VeGuXGsF&i=6861 tell me when you're following it. i'm going to generate trade data manually and take screenshots

That provider is on ICMarkets, so you can follow it let's say on ... fondex demo acc or other that is not icmarkets

Follower Account still has Original Value and will never update:

Hi tperalta82,

This happens due to equity to equity calculation of the positions. If the follower's account has a smaller balance that the strategy provider, then the initial position volume is rounded up. Hence when strategy modified, the equity to equity volume does not change. Try following the strategy with the same balance as the strategy provider and you will realize that it works fine.

Just tested, but it is weird, because if I open a new position, it will enter but if that's the way it works, it's fine, will not use the modify position.

Thanks
