The “Managed order amount allocation mode” controls how lots are distributed among individual accounts when performing transactions with managed accounts.
| • | Fixed Default Amount (DA): Lots/Amounts will be distributed according to the individual DA of each account. The DA of a managed account is the sum of the individual accounts’ DAs. Managed accounts can only be traded in amounts that are multiples of the sum of all individual participating accounts’ DAs. |
| • | Proportional: Lots/Amounts in the group order will be distributed in proportion to the maximum number of lots that can be open on individual participating accounts. |
| • | Proportional - One Lot Minimum: Lots/Amounts in the group order will be distributed in proportion to the maximum number of lots that can be open on individual participating accounts, but each account with sufficient usable margin will receive at least one lot. |
Note: When hedging a position on a group account, the trader will be able to open the hedging position in a Proportional mode, regardless of the global Managed Order Amount Allocation Mode setting.
