Copy trading difference in volume.
30 Apr 2024, 21:52


Hello, 

How it is possible if the strategy provider has 1000 dollars equity and I have 350 dollars equity, my copied positions are 5-6-7-8 times less in volume than the positions opened by the strategy provider( my equity is 3 times less than his) and after 2 weeks of copying The strategy ends up being in PROFIT while my copied position ARE NOT.

How is this possible can someone please explain this to me ??? 

Thanks.

Hi there,

Your screenshots do not display the volume not a one to one comparison of the trades showing the difference in volume you are referring to. Please provide such a comparison so that we can see clearly what you are referring to.

Here is an example:

On this trade he is loosing more than i do(around 40%)

Here is another example where he is winning more than i do. 

Should the wining and losing ratio between my position and strategy provider positions be the same as our equity ratio ???

Hi there, 

You still haven't shared the volume so I can't know why there is a difference. There are several reasons that cause discrepancies in copying, I list them below

  • Differences between your positions' entry and closing prices and those of the strategy provider
  • Differences in the size of your positions compared to those of the strategy provider
  • Variations in the commissions you pay to your broker compared to those of the strategy provider
  • The possibility that your broker does not offer the same trading symbols used in the strategy
  • Insufficient margin in your account to copy some of the orders executed in the strategy
  • Differences in the stop out levels, which might cause your account to be stopped out, while the strategy provider continues to trade

Best regards,

Panagiotis
