2014.08.24 17:03:31.170 'xxx': Signal - percentage for volume conversion selected according to the ratio of balances and leverages, new value 35% (old value 10%)
2014.08.24 17:03:31.082 'xxx': Signal - subscriber has balance 100 000.00 USD, leverage 1:500
2014.08.24 17:03:31.082 'xxx': Signal - signal provider has balance 259 157.33 USD, leverage 1:100
and report it here please.
Because you have a cent account (1/100th of a €) and the way MT calculates signal lot sizing, you will be copying at a conversion rate of 1% (check your journal, it will tell you the % in there). This means anything on the signal up to 1.99 lots will be 0.01 lots on your account. So at 2 lots on the signal, you should see 0.02 lots. Can you provide a screen shot where 2 lots on the signal is still only 0.01 on your account?

so how to change new value 1% to higher one??
thank you for your answers, and time
Filter:
Because you have a cent account (1/100th of a €) and the way MT calculates signal lot sizing, you will be copying at a conversion rate of 1% (check your journal, it will tell you the % in there). This means anything on the signal up to 1.99 lots will be 0.01 lots on your account. So at 2 lots on the signal, you should see 0.02 lots. Can you provide a screen shot where 2 lots on the signal is still only 0.01 on your account?
i THINK YOU ARE RIGHT, i placed lot 2,00 as an example, so sorry.. it could be that it copies 2.00 as .0.02..

but how to fix this problem? how to edit conversion rate?, thank you...
antiprotector:
Unfortunately in your case, you already have "use 95% of deposit" selected and leverage the same as the signal, so the only thing you can do to increase the % lot size copy is to deposit more funds. so how to change new value 1% to normal??
thank you for your answers, and time
I'm not at my main PC at the moment but when I get there, I'll send you an article and spreadsheet that will help you calculate the exact lot sizing.

Hello,
I have opened ALPARI-NANO cent acount META TRADER 4 v670
I have ~10000 EUC, Leverage 1:500 (1 lot = 100EURC(1EUR))
My signal provider have ~7000 EUR, Leverage 1:500 (1lot = 100 EUR)
Problem is that my account always copy wrong loot volume size..
Example:
Signal Provider go Long with 0.50
I receive signal with 0.01
Signal Provider go Short with 2.00
I receive signal with 0.01
ect..
WHY?????? This is bug or something? why it is calculating wrong loot size?
Everything is OK according to Signals TAB, I watched MT4 tutorials, it should be fine but it IS NOT FINE...
Maybe I am missing something?? If u have any ideas please help :) thank you
