What does Proportional by Equity mean?

The "Proportional by Equity" option automatically adjusts the size of your copied trades based on your current account size (i.e., your available equity).

This means you copy the signal provider's trade size in proportion to their capital and yours, maintaining a similar risk level to theirs.

Equity = Current Balance + Floating Profit/Loss

💡 Unlike "Balance" (which doesn't take into account open trades), equity reflects the real, current value of your account.

Let's say the trader you're copying has £100,000 in equity and buys £10,000 of CAP40 (10% of their capital).

You have £5,500 in equity.

With the Proportional Equity option enabled, your trade will be approximately £550 (also 10% of your equity).

✅ This way, both of you assume a risk proportional to your accounts.

Without this feature, you could be taking too little or too much risk:

📉 Buying £5,000 of CAP40 with a £5,500 account

It's extremely risky

📈 But with a £100,000 account

It's a more moderate and reasonable risk

Proportional Equity helps you maintain balanced risk management regardless of your account size.

✅ You maintain a similar risk to the trader you follow

✅ You avoid unintentionally overleveraging

✅ You trade more responsibly based on your actual capital

✅ It works automatically: no manual calculations
