How to modify Auto-increase parameters
The default parameters for Auto-increase are:
Trigger Loss: 50%
Amount to Add: 50%
If you are using the mobile app, you can customize these parameters:
1. Tap the Gear icon next to "Auto-increase".
2. Tap "EDIT" next to the parameter you wish to modify.
3. Move the horizontal slider to choose your desired percentage.
Important note: At this time, only clients with Gold status or higher are eligible to modify these parameters.
What happens when Auto-increase is triggered?
When your trade reaches a loss of ≥50%, the system will automatically reinvest 50% of the initial amount using the free funds in your account. If you have customized your parameters, the system will trigger and reinvest according to the specific percentages you have defined.
Example
You open a trade with $100.
If the loss reaches $50, the system adds another $50.
The new trade amount becomes $150, with the same $50 loss.
⚠️ A spread will be charged for the increase.
What changes after Auto-increase is applied?
When Auto-increase is triggered, several things are adjusted in your trade:
1. The amount increases and the stop out level moves
2. The opening price is recalculated
The new opening price is adjusted to the weighted average between:
The original trade price, and
The market price at the moment of Auto-increase
3. A spread fee is charged
This fee is based on the increase amount multiplied by the current multiplier.
4. Overnight fees are recalculated
From the moment Auto-increase is triggered, overnight fees are recalculated based on the new trade amount.
5. The multiplier remains unchanged
The increase is made using the same multiplier applied in the original trade.
