How to adjust your lot size with ai signal copier

Lot Settings

What it is

Choose how the copier decides trade size:

• Fixed lot: always use the same lot size you set.

• Percentage risk: size the lot so a losing trade at your Stop Loss equals a chosen percentage of account balance.

When to use each

• Fixed lot: you want a consistent lot size on every trade.

• Percentage risk: you want risk to adapt to the Stop Loss distance and account balance.

How to configure

1. Run /addproperty and select your source channel.

2. Tap “LOT Settings”.

3. Choose one:

• “Use fixed lot”

• “Use percentage”

1. Set values:

• “Change fixed lot”: enter a number like 0.10

• “Change percentage risk”: enter a number like 1.0 (meaning 1% risk)

Changes apply to that channel immediately.

How it behaves

• Fixed lot mode: the copier uses the exact lot you set (e.g., 0.10), whether or not a Stop Loss is provided.

• Percentage risk mode: the copier calculates lot size so that if the Stop Loss is hit, the loss is about your chosen risk percent.

• Requires a Stop Loss in the signal to calculate correctly.

• If a Stop Loss isn’t present, the copier falls back to the fixed lot you set.

Practical examples

• Fixed lot set to 0.10: every order opens with 0.10.

• Percentage risk set to 1%:

• If SL is 50 pips away, the lot is smaller.

• If SL is 20 pips away, the lot is larger.

• If no SL is given, it uses your fixed lot.

Tips

• Percentage risk is safest when your provider always includes a Stop Loss.

• Keep a reasonable fixed lot set even if you prefer percentage risk, as a fallback for signals without SL.

• Configure per channel; different providers can use different modes.
