Setting Up Ratio Copy
To use ratio-based order scaling, select the Ratio Copy Method in your follower account settings.
Understanding Ratio Values
You can define a ratio ranging from -100 to 100 for each follower account. This ratio acts as a multiplier for the leader's order quantity.
Positive Ratio Examples
- Ratio of 2.0: If the leader transmits an order for 2 contracts, the follower receives 4 contracts.
- Ratio of 5.0: If the leader transmits an order for 1 contract, the follower receives 5 contracts.
Ratios Below 1
Ratio values can be smaller than 1. For example, a ratio of 0.5 would copy 1 contract as 0.5 contracts on the follower. Note that trades may not be copied if the resulting quantities are not divisible by the ratio proportion.
Using Negative Ratios
A negative ratio reverses the order direction, converting long positions to short and vice versa.
- Example: A ratio of -1 means the follower account will hedge the leader's positions 1:1.
- Use this when you want the follower to take opposite positions to the leader.

Cross-Order Trading
Replikanto supports cross-order trading between related futures instruments — Mini and Micro, and, as of Replikanto 1.7.0.0, a third nano tier on the families where one is available. When using cross-order functionality, the contract count remains unchanged—for example, 1 contract on the leader (Mini) becomes 1 contract on the follower (Micro).
Cross Order changes the instrument, not the quantity. To scale the follower's size as well, combine it with the Ratio Copy Method described above. See Cross Order Now Has Three Instrument Tiers (1.7.0.0) for how the Cross Order square cycles between tiers.
