What are the risk types I can choose from?

On Social Trader Tools, you can choose from several risk management methods to control how trade sizes are copied from a Lead (Copy-from) account to Follower (Send-to) accounts.

Risk by Balance Lot sizes are calculated based on the balance ratio between accounts. Formula: Send-to Balance ÷ Copy-from Balance × Copy-from lot size × Multiplier

Risk by Equity Lot sizes are based on current equity instead of balance. Formula: Send-to Equity ÷ Copy-from Equity × Copy-from lot size × Multiplier

Lot Multiplier A simple scaling method that multiplies every trade size by a fixed factor. Example: 1 lot on master × 2 multiplier = 2 lots on follower

Fixed Lot All copied trades are executed at a fixed predefined lot size, regardless of the master trade size. Example: Master trades 0.1 or 2.0 lots → follower always trades 0.5 lots (if set to 0.5)
