How to Use Fixed Strategy in Social Trading

What is the Fixed Strategy in Social Trading?

The Fixed Strategy in our Social Trading platform allows Autocopiers to set a fixed copy volume following the trading signal from the Leader.

How is the Fixed Strategy calculated?

Copies’ volumes = The fixed volume in lots, which would be opened when the system receives trading signal from the Leader.

With the Fixed Strategy, copy volumes are set in advance. When a Leader places an order, regardless of its size, it is copied to the Autocopier’s trading account with the predetermined volume specified in the Copies’ volumes parameter.

Trade volume calculation depends on Autocopier’s current Balance/Equity as follow:

How Can I Set Up The Fixed Strategy in Social Trading?

1. Melden Sie sich bei Ihrem Sozialer Handel: Verwenden Sie Ihre Anmeldeinformationen (E-Mail und Passwort), um auf das System zuzugreifen. 
2. Navigate to Social Trading Section: After logging in, find Social Trading in the sidebar menu on the left side of the screen and click on it.
3. Click the Social Trading Button: After clicking the Social Trading button in the sidebar menu, you’ll see two subsections: Social Trading and Leaderboard. Click on Sozialer Handel to access the platform.
4. Log in to the Social Trading Portal: Select your preferred server (TradeQuo MT4/MT5) and enter your trading account ID and master password.

Note: The trading account, which is used to access Social Trading Portal, needs to be created in TradeQuo system.

1. Navigate to the My Copy Stats: 
   • If you haven’t followed any Leaders, click the Sozialer Handel logo on the rigth-hand side and locate the “Start Auto-Copy” button, then click it to start copying a Leader of your choice from the Leader Board section. If you can’t find your Leader on the Leader Board, you can refer to this article: Wie finde ich einen Anführer, wenn er nicht auf der Bestenliste steht?
   • If you have multiple followers, you will see a ”My Copy Stats”. In this case, click the column and look for a Leader for whom you wish to set the strategy.
2. Set Up Your Strategy: Under “My Portfolio”, find and click “Subscription Strategy”. Click the “Edit” button to customize your strategy settings. Then, please refer to below information.
   1. Volume Scaling: Volume Scaling allows Autocopiers choose how to scale their trade sizes based on the Leader’s volume in lot. Select “Fixed” from the options and the system will calculate the trade size with exact amount of Leader volume in lot.
   2. Volume Multiplier: The Copies’ volume is the fixed trading amount in lots, which would be opened when the system receives trading signals from the Leader
   3. Copy Direction: Choose whether copied trades should follow direct or reverse the original trade direction. For example, if you set the direction on reverse, when the Leader opens a position on Buy side, a position on Sell side is opened on your side as the Autocopier; and vice versa. Please refer to the example below:

Example 1:
Subscription Strategy settings:

• Volume scaling: Fixed
• Copies’ volumes: 0.5
• Copy Direction: Direkte

Given:

• Leader opens trade: Buy 2 lot EURUSD

Result:

• Autocopier copies the trade as: Buy 0.5 lot EURUSD

Therefore, you would open a trade of 0.5 lot in EURUSD because the Copies’ volume is set to 0.5 as a fixed lot along to the trade opened on the Leader’s side.

Example 2:
Subscription Strategy settings:

• Volume scaling: Fixed
• Copies’ volumes: 0.1
• Copy Direction: Umkehren

Given:

• Leader opens trade: Buy 9 lots EURUSD

Result:

• Autocopier copies the trade as: Sell 0.1 lot EURUSD

Therefore, you would open a Sell trade of 0.1 lot in EURUSD because the Copies’ volume is set to 0.1, and the trade opened on the Leader side is in Buy trade.
