How many follower accounts can I have in Replikanto?

Replikanto has no hard limit on the maximum number of follower accounts per leader account. You can theoretically connect as many followers as you need.

Recommended Limit

While there is no technical maximum, we recommend using no more than 20 follower accounts per leader for optimal performance. This recommended limit exists because:

• Performance: Managing more than 20 followers can lead to increased latency between trade executions
• Reliability: Higher follower counts increase the risk of sync delays or missed trades during fast market conditions
• Monitoring: Keeping follower counts manageable makes it easier to track individual account performance and troubleshoot issues

Account Balance Strategy

When using Replikanto as a trade copier, it's generally better to use fewer accounts with larger balances rather than more accounts with smaller balances. This strategy improves performance and reduces complexity.

For example:

• Preferred: Two accounts with 50k each instead of four accounts with 25k each
• Preferred: Two accounts with 100k each instead of eight accounts with 25k each

Fewer, larger accounts mean:

• Faster trade copying with reduced latency
• Easier account management and monitoring
• Lower risk of synchronization issues
• Better overall system stability

Performance Considerations

If you need to exceed the recommended 20-follower limit, be aware of these potential impacts:

• Increased latency: Time between leader and follower executions may increase
• Resource usage: Higher CPU and memory demands on your trading workstation
• Network demands: Requires stable, high-speed internet connection
• Monitoring challenges: More difficult to track individual account status and troubleshoot issues

Monitoring Tips

To maintain optimal performance with multiple followers:

• Regularly check sync status in Replikanto dashboard
• Monitor for latency warnings or delayed executions
• Verify that all followers receive trades within expected timeframes
• Test performance during different market conditions (open, close, high volatility)
• Consider system resources and network stability when scaling up

If you experience performance issues with your current follower count, consider reducing the number of followers or upgrading your hardware and internet connection.
