Adjusting trade sizes: ratio and cross order

Adjust the size of copied positions relative to the lead account using ratio, or mirror E-mini trades with Micro E-mini contracts using cross order.

Follow these steps to adjust trade sizes for a follower account once you have setup Tradesyncer:

Step 1: Go to the Cockpit

Navigate to the Cockpit where you'll manage and monitor your accounts.

Step 2: Locate the Contract and Account

Find the specific contract and account under that contract where you want to adjust the ratio or enable cross order.

How Ratio works

Each individual account can copy trades using a custom ratio, allowing you to adjust the size of the copied position relative to the lead account. For instance, if you set a ratio of 2, the account will copy positions at double the size of the lead account.

With Ratio, you can scale trades per account independently. For example:

  • If your lead account places a trade with 2 contracts

  • A follower set to 2x ratio will enter with 4 contracts

This approach keeps all your accounts aligned while respecting their individual capacity and risk tolerance.

Why use ratios?

Using trade ratios is ideal for:

  • Managing accounts of different sizes

  • Adjusting for varying levels of risk appetite

  • Prop firm scaling without overexposure

How Cross Order works

The Cross Order function in Tradesyncer allows trade copying between E-mini and Micro E-mini contracts. This feature ensures that positions remain consistent and proportional, even when accounts trade different contract sizes.

For example: if your lead account enters a trade with 1 E-mini Nasdaq (NQ) contract, the follower account, with Cross Order enabled, will mirror that trade with 1 Micro E-mini Nasdaq (MNQ) contract.

This setup allows you to run mixed accounts while keeping trade intent aligned across all followers.

Key benefits

  • Account-level control: Enable Cross Order per follower for flexible management.

  • Automatic contract adjustment: Trades are copied with the correct Micro/E-mini version based on account setup.

  • Supports key instruments:

    • S&P 500: ES ↔ MES

    • Nasdaq: NQ ↔ MNQ

    • Dow Jones: YM ↔ MYM

Whether you're managing a few personal accounts or dozens from prop firms, this feature keeps everything efficient, controlled, and scalable.
