Why Did My Trade Close if the Strategy Provider Didn’t Close Any of Their Trades?

There are two possible reasons for this:

1. Your Account Has Been Stopped Out:

   • Your account may have been stopped out while the Strategy Provider’s account is not yet stopped out.

2. The Strategy Provider Deposited Additional Funds:

   • When the Strategy Provider deposits additional funds into their trading account, the Equity-to-Equity model used in copy trading will automatically recalculate the volume of all open trades based on the new equity.

Example:

1. Initial Situation:

   • Strategy Provider’s equity: 4,000 EUR
   • Follower’s equity: 1,000 EUR
   • Provider opens a trade of 400,000 units (4 lots) on EUR/USD.
   • Copied trade volume:
     • (1,000 / 4,000) * 400,000 = 100,000 units (1 lot)

2. Provider Deposits Additional Funds:

   • Strategy Provider deposits 1,000 EUR more, increasing their equity to 5,000 EUR.

3. Recalculation of Trade Volume:

   • New equity ratio:
     • (1,000 / 5,000) * 400,000 = 80,000 units (0.8 lots)

4. Automatic Adjustment:

   • To meet the new Equity-to-Equity ratio, the system will partially close the existing trade by 20,000 units (0.2 lots).

This adjustment ensures that the Equity-to-Equity ratio is maintained, which may result in the partial closure of your trades even if the Strategy Provider has not closed any of their trades.
