Symptom: Wrong lot size copied

Created by Levi Dane, Modified on Tue, 30 Dec, 2025 at 5:31 AM by Levi Dane

Quick answer

  1. Confirm which sizing mode you’re using (Trade Copier → edit connection)
  2. Check if the receiver broker has min/max lot constraints
  3. If using Risk % / Risk $, confirm SL is present and valid

Symptoms

  • Receiver lot size is too big or too small compared to expectation
  • Lot sizes vary unexpectedly between symbols

Most common causes

  • Sizing mode misunderstood (Balance Multiplier vs Lot Multiplier vs Fixed)
  • Risk sizing can’t calculate properly without SL
  • Broker min/max lot and lot step constraints

Fix steps

  1. Open Trade Copier and edit the connection
  2. For troubleshooting, switch temporarily to: - Fixed Lots (small) or Lot Multiplier = 1.0
  3. Retest and confirm behavior

Verify it worked

  1. Place a tiny test trade
  2. Confirm receiver lot size matches expectation

If it still looks wrong (Escalate)

Include:

  • Your sizing mode and values
  • Symbol
  • Error text from Logs (if any)
