Why do lot sizes occasionally change when my trades are copied to my Allocation Account?Find out why lot sizes may differ between your Axi Select trading account and your Allocation Account when trades are copied.
Updated 14 days ago

Lot sizes may be adjusted when trades are copied to your Allocation Account due to platform limitations in MT4/MT5.

What you need to know:

  1. MT4 and MT5 platforms cannot open fractional lot sizes below the minimum increment (0.01 lots).

  2. When the multiplier results in a fractional lot size, the platform rounds down to the nearest valid lot size.

  3. Example: If your multiplier is x5.3 and you open a 0.01 lot trade, the copied lot size would be 0.05 (not 0.053), because MT4/MT5 cannot open 0.003 additional lots.

  4. This rounding is automatic and cannot be overridden — it is a platform-level limitation, not an error.
