Please note! Client accounts in this section are those with the Copy trading management type, displayed to the client as subscriptions (with the ability to make operations only through the Copy Trading section of the client terminal or through the administrator terminal). Details on the settings for such accounts are described in the article Copytrading accounts.
Important! To subscribe to a public account, the client account must have an account group assigned to special accounts when creating a subscription. Otherwise, the subscription will not be possible. Groups for special accounts are assigned according to priority: 1.Overridded account group field when creating and editing a public account (applies to all accounts that subscribe to a specific public account);
2.Copy trading account group field of the profile group. Applies to accounts created for client profiles that belong to the group, if Overrided account group in the public account is not specified.
3.If none of the above settings are specified, the Account group specified in the broker's copytrading settings is applied to the account.

The table includes the following information about subscriptions to public accounts:

Subscription mechanism

For each new subscription, the system performs the following actions:

  1. Balance check: If the account's Total assets/Margin balance is less than the minimum subscription amount, the message 'Not enough money' is displayed. If the account's currency balance is insufficient, subscribing to the public account is impossible.
  2. If the balance is sufficient, the subscription coefficient (k) is calculated, determining the amount by which positions from the public account are copied. The coefficient calculations are recorded in the public account currency specified in its Netting settings: - For margin accounts: k = Margin balance of the subscriber account / Margin balance of the public account, the resulting value is rounded to 6 decimal places; - For non-margin accounts: k = Total assets of the subscriber account / Total assets of the public account, the resulting value is rounded to 6 decimal places.
Example: Margin balance available in the subscriber's account: USD 2,500 Margin balance in the public account: USD 10,000 Minimum deposit to subscribe to a public account: USD 1,000 The calculation is as follows: 2,500 (subscriber's account balance) / USD 10,000 (minimum deposit) = 0.25
Please note! Subscribing from a non-margin account to a margin account is not possible.

The subscription coefficient is recalculated in a number of cases:

  • When subscribing to a public account;
  • Upon deposits, withdrawals, and transfers to the public account or the subscriber's account;
  • When calculating and debiting the subscriber's subscription fee (the coefficient is recalculated after the payment transaction is generated, i.e., after the subscriber's account balance changes);
  • When resuming a paused subscription;
  • On Sunday, at 03:00 in the broker's time zone.

Subscription Notifications

In some cases, notifications related to events in the subscriber's account can be sent to the broker and client. In the Events section, you can edit templates for notifications about the following events:

  • Copy trading no margin (sent to the broker and subscriber) - when there are insufficient funds in the subscriber's account and the subscription is paused;
  • Copy trading public balance (sent to the subscriber) - when the public account balance changes;
  • Copy trading margin call (sent to the subscriber) - when the used margin exceeds 100%, meaning the stopout level has been reached. The subscription is paused;
  • Copy trading rebalance (sent to the subscriber) - when positions are rebalanced, resulting in a change in the coefficient;
  • Copy trading balance warning (sent to the subscriber) - if, after recalculating the coefficient, Margin balance (for margin accounts) and Total assets (for non-margin accounts) are less than the amount required for the subscription (0.98 x Minimum deposit);
  • Copy trading position warning - at 10:00 UTC, if positions on one or more instruments diverge;
  • Copy trading subscribe (sent to the subscriber) - when starting a subscription to a public account;
  • Copy trading pause (sent to the subscriber) - when pausing a subscription to a public account;
  • Copy trading resume (sent to the subscriber) - when resuming a subscription to a public account;
  • Copy trading cancel (sent to the subscriber) - when stopping a subscription at the client's request;
  • Copy trading close (sent to the subscriber) - when the subscription is terminated (positions are closed, subscription is terminated) at the client's request;
  • Copy trading no routing (sent to the subscriber and broker) - when errors occur while copying positions (if an account for execution is not selected, if the order cannot be executed, or if the execution timeout is exceeded).
