“If the trading volume is less than 0.01 lots, orders will be executed in increments of 0.01 lots.”
Below is a detailed explanation.
1. Minimum Trading Lot Size
The minimum trading lot size (e.g., 0.01 lots) is set as the base for all trades.
For example, if a strategy provider has a balance of $150,000 and purchases 10 lots, the minimum trading unit will be 0.01 lots, requiring a balance of $150 for each 0.01 lot purchase.
2. Practical Purchase Examples
- Example 1: Balance of $300 → Can purchase 0.02 lots
- Example 2: Balance of $299 or less → Can purchase only 0.01 lots
- Example 3: Even with a balance below $150, if there is sufficient margin for 0.01 lots, the order will be executed at 0.01 lots.
- Example 4: If the balance is insufficient, 0.01 lots cannot be purchased, and the order will not be executed.
3. Why Copy Trading Profits Are the Same
Even with different account balances, trades are executed in the minimum lot unit, which can result in the same profits.
For instance, if two accounts have balances of $299 and $200 respectively and both purchase 0.01 lots, the same lot size is traded, leading to identical profits.
