Existing trades are not opened on new copier accounts
30 Nov 2021, 16:18


Hello,

I just started a new strategy (4 Value Trading Fund 1) and I noticed that existing positions are not opened when new followers are starting to copy.

Any idea what the problem can be?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Peter

RE:

These are the open positions on the strategy provider account:

But these will not be opened when somebody start copying this strategy (example):

Is this enough information?

Hi Peter,

Can you please provide the following as well?

  1. Strategy provider's broker.
  2. Follower's broker.
  3. Follower's account number.

Please make sure that the follower's account has the same trading conditions as the strategy provider.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

RE:

1. Strategy provider's broker: IC Markets

2. Follower's broker: IC Markets

3. Follower's account number: 1250162

I see that new positions are opened but existing still not.

Leverage on provider account is 1:30 and follower account 1:500

RE: RE:

Hello Panagiotis,

Do you already know what the problem is?

I saw that when a copier add funds to his account the position size of an open position wil be adjusted according to the new equity to equity ratio. So that works well.

RE:

I also have another issue. 

Despite I have set 'Show positions to No one' the open positions are still vissible.

Hi Peter,

By whom are the positions visible? Can you share screenshots showing what are you looking at?

RE:

Open positions are visible for people that are following my strategy.

This is a screenshot from one of my followers with a live account:

Hi Peter,

This is by design. These are the positions of their own accounts.

RE:

OK, so the setting 'Show positions to' is only to set who can see the open positions on my account?
