Copy positions at master accounts prices

Learn how to copy positions to investment accounts at master account prices to avoid price slippage in copy trading and MAM

Applicable to copy trading and MAM

You can configure positions opened on master accounts to be copied into subscribed copy-trading and MAM investment accounts at the prices at which those positions were opened on the master accounts. Moreover, when positions are closed on the master accounts, the corresponding positions on subscribed investment accounts are closed at the same prices.

This can be configured for accounts belonging to specific account groups.

Copying positions at master account prices helps avoid price slippage when executing orders using the B-Book model.

In the cases listed below, positions are copied into investment accounts at current market prices regardless of account groups:

• If different symbol name conventions are used to identify the same trading instrument on a master account and the subscribed investment account, the position is copied at its current market price.

• If the option named Copy open positions to new investors is enabled, open positions on a master account are copied to the newly subscribed investment account at their current market prices.

• If an open position on a master account is copied to the subscribed investment accounts after clicking the Resync button in the Admin panel, the position is copied at its current market price.
