Understanding Risk Multiplier vs. Lot Multiplier on PF1
When using Risk Multiplier in PF1, it’s important to know that it only works when you open a trade using the Open by SL feature.
If Open by SL is not enabled, the system will default to using the Lot Multiplier instead.
Why?
The Risk Multiplier calculates the position size based on your stop-loss distance and the percentage risk you’ve set. Without the Open by SL feature, PF1 doesn’t know the stop-loss distance at the moment of trade execution, so it cannot calculate the risk-based lot size.
In that case, the copier automatically falls back to the Lot Multiplier, which simply multiplies the master account’s lot size by your set factor.
How Risk Multiplier applies to copying trades
When Open by SL is enabled, the Risk Multiplier will calculate the exact lot size needed so that each copied trade on your slave account risks the same percentage of your account as set in your multiplier settings, even if your account size is different from the master account.
This ensures that risk is consistent and proportional across all accounts, regardless of account size or currency differences.
We’ve created a detailed step-by-step guide on how the Open by SL feature works and how to set it up correctly.
