There is "Use no more than [A] % " parameter in the subscription settings in Metatrader.
You can find it on the following page:

Besides, some description of this settings - read this thread: "Use no more than..."?

So actually  "Use no more than [A] % " means the MQL5 will use system to determine how much they're gonna rick from my capital ( i set 90% of $1000 ) ! $900 available to trade !  it'll not only copy 0.01 lot as signal provider is doing ! am i right ? 

Thx for quick reply !

Lot size for subscribers is automatically calculated.
Example of calculation:

As to "Use no more ..." so it is the following:

From How to Subscribe to a Signal 

• Use no more than [A] % — percentage value of your deposit that can be used for following provider's signals. For example, if your balance is 10,000 USD and 90% is specified here, then 9,000 USD will be used for following the signals. This affects the calculation of volumes of the deals performed when following the signals. The volume is calculated proportionally. See "Signal Subscribers" section for more information. It is strongly not recommended to change the deposit load if you already have positions opened according to a signal. This will lead to correction of volume of the open positions (volume increase or partial close at the current market price).

You can have a lot of possibilities like adjust the lot size, limit the number of open trades, stop trading below... using this strategy:

Subscribe using a demo account and forward the signal to your live account with a MT4/5 copier which has a lot of settings.
