The Fixed Strategy allows Auto-Copiers to copy trades from a Leader using a predefined, fixed trade volume, regardless of the Leader’s actual trade size.
This means that every trade copied to your account will open with the exact volume you set, giving you full control over your position size.
How is the Fixed Strategy calculated?
Copies’ volumes = The fixed volume in lots, which would be opened when the system receives a trading signal from the Leader.
With the Fixed Strategy, copy volumes are set in advance. When a Leader places an order, regardless of its size, it is copied to the Auto-Copier’s trading account with the predetermined volume specified in the Copies’ volumes parameter.
Trade volume calculation depends on Autocopier’s current Balance/Equity.
How to Set Up Fixed Strategy
1. Log In to Social Trading
- Log in to Your Social Trading.
- Use your email and password to log in.
2. Access the Social Trading Portal
- Go to the left-side menu and click Social Trading.
- Select your server (e.g., QuoMarkets MT4/MT5).
- Log in with your trading account ID and master password.
Note: Your trading account must be created under the QuoMarkets system.
3. Navigate to ‘My Copy Stats’
- If you’re not yet following a Leader, click the “Start Auto-Copy” button to begin.
- If you’re already following one, go to My Copy Stats and choose the Leader you wish to edit.
4. Set Your Fixed Strategy
- Under My Portfolio, click Subscription Strategy.
- Click Edit to configure your strategy.
Here’s how to set it:
- Volume Scaling: Volume Scaling allows Auto-Copiers choose how to scale their trade sizes based on the Leader’s volume in lot. Select “Fixed” from the options and the system will calculate the trade size with the exact amount of Leader volume in the lot.
- Volume Multiplier: The Copies’ volume is the fixed trading amount in lots, which would be opened when the system receives trading signals from the Leader.
- Copy Direction: Choose whether copied trades should follow direct or reverse the original trade direction. For example, if you set the direction in reverse, when the Leader opens a position on Buy side, a position on Sell side is opened on your side as the Auto-Copier; and vice versa. Please refer to the example below:
Example 1
Subscription Strategy settings:
- Volume Scaling: Fixed
- Copies’ Volume: 0.5
- Copy Direction: Direct
Given: Leader opens trade: Buy 2 lot EURUSD
Result: Auto-Copier copies the trade as: Buy 0.5 lot EURUSD
Therefore, you would open a trade of 0.5 lot in EURUSD because the Copies’ volume is set to 0.5 as a fixed lot along with the trade opened on the Leader’s side.
Example 2
Subscription Strategy settings:
- Volume scaling: Fixed
- Copies’ volumes: 0.1
- Copy Direction: Reverse
Given: Leader opens trade: Buy 9 lots EURUSD
Result: Auto-Copier copies the trade as: Sell 0.1 lot EURUSD
Therefore, you would open a Sell trade of 0.1 lot in EURUSD because the Copies’ volume is set to 0.1, and the trade opened on the Leader side is in Buy trade.
Final Step: Save Changes
Once your preferences are set, click Save Changes to activate the Fixed Strategy on your account.
