The lot size is based on the balance of account (your balance and balance of signal provider) and the leverage of your trading account and signal provider trading account.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Signals service
What rounding scheme is used for Provider's and Subscriber's percentage ratio of deals volume?

Thank you and I tried to calculate mine and, signal provider as information
Signal provider about $1,274 (as of todat 15/6) and leverage = 1:100
Me $500 and leverage 1:500 and last minute I just changed to 1:1000 and 95% of deposit use
- Balances ratio considering specified part of the deposit in percentage terms:
Subscriber (Me): (500 * 0.95) / 1,274 = 0.3728 (37.28%) - After considering the leverages:
Subscriber1: the leverage of me (1:500) or (1:1000) is greater than Provider's one (1:100), thus correction on leverages is not performed - USD = USD = the same currency
- Total percentage value after the rounding (performed using a multistep algorithm):
Subscriber1: 37% or 0.37 ratio
Thus under the given conditions, Provider's deal with volume of 1 lot will be copied:
- to Subscriber1 account in amount of 37% - volume of 0.37 lots
-> Here I think myself
If signal provider open 1 lot -> me 0.37 lot
so he open 0.05 -> me = 0.37 * 0.05 / 1 = 0.0185 lot -> so It should be 0.02 but it's still 0.01 ????
In summary, Subscriber needs to have more balance than signal provider a little bit
= provider / 0.95
= 1,274 / 0.95 = 1,341
Am I correct?

...I did not calculate it.
But you should check about rounding: What rounding scheme is used for Provider's and Subscriber's percentage ratio of deals volume?
It means: if you should have 0.0185 lot so it is rounding to 0.01 (not to 0.02).

37% copying ratio doen't mean 0.37 lots, it means that you will open about the 37% of signal's lot size. So if the the signal opens 0.05 lots, you will open 0.01, because it is rounded down.

Hi. Why don't my subscription follow "size" of the signal who I copied?
I mean the signal (EMMA Profit) always open 0.05 per trade but my trade is only 0.01
<Deleted>
At first, my port is only $200, I guess $200 is less so size in my trades were 0.01 but yesterday (14/6/21 at 11.37 am) I deposit more $300 so now it is $500.
But it is still open 0.01
Can I ask you that "is it not enough?"
Do I have to have $1,000?
Thank you for your help.
