The VT Markets copy trading offers three copy trading modes. Each mode determines how your position size is calculated when copying a signal provider's trades.
Equivalent Used Margin
This mode follows the signal provider's margin usage ratio, adjusting your position size based on the proportion of margin used in your account. It provides fairer risk alignment and works even if your leverage or account size differs from the provider's. However, profit and loss may not be exactly proportional to the provider's results.
Best suited for beginners who want to match a provider's risk level without worrying about leverage or fund differences.
Fixed Lot
You set a constant lot size (e.g., 0.1 lots) for every copied trade, regardless of the provider's position size. This gives you simple, predictable risk control and prevents oversized trades. The trade-off is that your results may not reflect the provider's performance proportionally.
Best suited for conservative traders who prioritize strict risk management.
Fixed Multiple
This mode copies the provider's positions by a chosen multiplier (e.g., 1x, 2x). Profit and loss scale directly with the provider's results, making it straightforward to understand. However, if your account size or leverage differs significantly from the provider's, the risk exposure may be much higher, increasing the chance of a margin call.
Best suited for experienced traders with a similar account size to the provider.
