With the Multiplier method, the Slave trade size is simply a multiplier applied to the Master trade size no matter the Equity, Balance, or Free Margin of both Slave and Master accounts. When using the “Multiplier (Notional)” or "Multiplier (Lot)" methods, the system will multiply the master trade size by the defined value and place the corresponding order on the Slave account.
Multiplier (Notional)
Using the "Multiplier (Notional)" the contract size of master and slave symbols is considered and trade size will be adjusted accordingly. The multiplier will be applied to the notional amount of the master trade size.
This is how we compute Multiplier (Notional): Master lot size x Master contract size x Multiplier(Notional) / Slave contract size = Slave lot size
Multiplier (Lot)
Using the "Multiplier (Lot)", the contract size is not considered, so if it is different between master and slave symbols, the notional amount of the trade will not be the same.
Here is how we compute it: Master lot size x Multiplier(Lot) = Slave lot size
