Is it possible to duplicate trades to a different account, but set it so that the duplicate is done at a smaller size (for example, at 20% of the original account size)?

The "Order Allocation to Trade Accounts" allows for a multiplier to be applied to each account to which the trade is copied. Multipliers less than 1 can be used (i.e. .20 for 20%). This applies to the Quantity of the order. If the result of the multiplication is not an even whole number (and integer) then the value is rounded. For instance, if you enter a multiplier of .20 for account 'Sim2' and enter a quantity of 12 for the main account, then 'Sim2' will be entered with a quantity of 2 (12 * .20 = 2.4 -> 2).

If I were to manually exit the position in the duplicate account, while maintaining the position in the master account, will that potentially cause problems? For example: 1. I enter a position in the master account, which leads to the duplicate account to take on a position. 2. I manually exit the position in the duplicate account but keep the master account position. 3. I then later decide to exit the position in the master account and Flatten the position -> Would the system recognize that the duplicate account has already been flattened? Or, is there a chance that doing so could cause the duplicate account to open up a new position in the opposite direction? Thank you. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-07-17 23:39:32
