SplitLots function explained

In this video, I demonstrate how SplitLots function works in the Local Trade Copier and also explain what it does and how it helps if you trade big volume position size.

IMPORTANT! SplitLots function does not take partial closing (a.k.a. scaling out) into account. If you close a portion of a master trade, the Client EA might close all trades (occurred from SplitLots) on the client account or, it might be closed only after you fully close master trade.

Hi Rimantas,

I am a indeed a very happy customer and have been using your services and would like to say thank you. WHERE ARE YOU BASED ?
I am currently in search for a trade copier system allowing me to access the binary options platform I am based in the UK and have a client base of over 50,000 subscribers to my various trading platforms I would very much appreciate, if you could spare me some time in order to talk to you about this specific LTC to be made exclusively for me I am in a position where I can provide the means to have this made by yourself so costs are not an issue if we could discuss this matter over a webinar it would be amazing.

I want to use the LTC on 5 accounts all on a VPS. Which Plan is ideal for me ?
1. Rimantas Petrauskas
  
  If all 5 accounts are on the same VPS then the personal license is fine for that.
  
  BUT if you need SplitLots function then you need to get a Manager license because SplitLots are not available in Personal license. You posted this question on the SplitLots tutorial page so I wanna make sure you understand that this function is not available in Personal license.
  
  Hope this helps

Hi, I lot of families and friends that want to copy my trades, but each of them have 5 accounts with same broker. I would like to know if your system would be able to handle it without require them to do anything. Would I be able to manage all their accounts using just my laptop. Thanks
1. Rimantas Petrauskas
  
  Hi, yes, as long as your laptop can run that many MT4 accounts.
  If your laptop won’t be able to run that many MT4 accounts then you’ll need a VPS server.
  
  For VPS, I always recommend https://www.vpsforextrader.com/?id=1255a
  I’ve been using them for many years now and I personally know the people who are running this company.
  
  If you need to host just a few MT4 platforms, you should look into their basic plans like FX-1 or FX-2.

  For more powerful servers that can handle 25+ or even 100+ MT4 platforms, you should be looking at dedicated servers.

Does this feature comes with Local Trade Copier Personal subscription?
1. Rimantas Petrauskas
  
  SplitLots feature comes with LTC Manager or VIP license. It is not included in the LTC Personal license.

I want to manage accounts for friends and family. If I have a balance 10 times bigger than my friend, how do I automatically place orders in his account for which the lot size is 10 times smaller? Is it with this lot splitter function? Tks
1. Rimantas Petrauskas
  
  Sure, you will achieve that with default risk management settings in client ea.
  By default, the copier calculates lot sizes for each client based on the difference between account balances to have the same risk. So lot size in the client will be automatically adjusted.
  You can set different risk management parameters for each client account.
  Here are videos where all risk parameters are explained:
  https://www.mt4copier.com/risk-parameters/
  
  Split lots function is not for that, it is used to slice a trade on master into multiple trades in client accounts.
  Hope this helps
