If a strategy provider’s account or a strategy follower’s account balance has changed (any balance operation occurred on the follower’s or provider’s account), then cTrader Copy changes the follower’s positions to implement the equity-to-equity algorithm. In this case, the follower’s Copy Trading Account history may log the trades that do not exist in the Strategy Provider’s account history.
I understand it goes by equity to equity but how does it actually created 6 different lots compared to just one trade performed in provider's account? I checked the time frame of those trade that they are of different timing on the total of 6 trades but only 1 trade is the same as the provider. This is what i am puzzled with. Is there any example for my understanding?
Let's assume if provider has a balance of $1000usd with equity 1000. My capital is 100 and provider opened 4 lots.
Using the formula, 100 / 1000 x 0.4 lots = 0.04 micro lots
So the copied trade on my account will be 4 micro lots whereas the provider shall have 4 mini lots.

Is that how it works?
