Sizing Bitget CFD Copy Trades with Equity Ratios, Multipliers, and Caps
Summary
The document explains two ways to size Bitget CFD copy trades. In fixed-ratio mode, the copier’s lot size is based on the equity ratio between the copier and the lead trader, then rounded down to the instrument’s minimum volume step. Fixed-lot mode instead uses a preset size regardless of the lead trader’s position. The article also describes how a lot multiplier can set size relative to the lead trader’s lot amount, and how a per-order maximum limits copied exposure.
Examples illustrate equity-based scaling, multiplier sizing, and the effect of a maximum-order cap. The article notes that equity and market changes, margin availability, minimum lot requirements, and rounding can cause actual sizes to differ or prevent an order from opening. These are platform-specific descriptions, not independent performance evidence or a general method for choosing a safe size. CFDs use leverage and can expose traders to substantial losses; the document recommends considering instrument constraints and monitoring margin and risk controls.
Key ideas
- Fixed-ratio copying scales the lead trader’s lot size by the ratio of copier equity to lead trader equity.
- Fixed-lot copying uses a preset lot size that does not depend on the lead trader’s position.
- A lot multiplier sets copied size as a multiple of the lead trader’s opening lot size.
- A maximum lot size per order caps the position produced by the ratio or multiplier calculation.
- Rounding, minimum order sizes, changing equity, and available margin can affect execution.
