# Lot Multiplier

The lot multiplier feature in Ectype's trade copier offers a straightforward method for determining lot sizes. By multiplying the <mark style="color:green;">Copy From</mark> lot size with a specified multiplier, users can easily scale their trades.

Here is how it works:

1. Begin with the original lot size of the Copy From account.
2. **Multiplier Adjustment:**

   * Multiply the Copy From lot size by the chosen multiplier value.

   Formula:

   ```rust
   Copy From Lot Size * Multiplier
   ```

**Example Scenario**

* **Copy From Lot Size:** 1 (standard lot)
* **Multiplier:** 2<br>

  **Calculation:**&#x20;

  ```scss
  1 * 2 = 2
  ```

The <mark style="color:green;">Send To</mark> account replicates a 2-lot trade when the <mark style="color:green;">Copy From</mark> account initiates a 1-lot trade.
