Risk Types

Understanding risk is crucial in trading. Ectype offers four Risk Types to tailor your risk management strategy. Each type provides a unique approach to lot size calculation.

Risk Multiplier by Balance

When using risk multiplier by balance, the trade copier calculates a proportional lot size for each copied trade based on the balance of the Copy From and Send To accounts. Adjust the lot size further with a multiplier.

Risk Multiplier by Equity

Similar to the balance multiplier, risk multiplier by equity uses equity values instead of balances for lot size calculation.

Lot Multiplier

With lot multiplier, the lot size is calculated by multiplying the Copy From lot size by the multiplier value.

Fixed Lot

When using fixed lot, all trades from the Copy From account are copied to the Send To account at a defined fixed lot value.
