Accounts and risk

Connect an account

Choose your broker or data connection and follow the instructions on the VolFix Trading Gateways page.

Configure Master/Slave accounts

The Master/Slave function copies trades from one Master account to one or more Slave accounts. It is available in Trading DOM and the mobile app; account relationships are configured in the desktop platform.

For a complete walkthrough, watch How to copy trades to multiple accounts.

1. Open Market Watch > Start > Position Control and switch to the Accounts tab.
2. Double-click the account you want to configure.
3. Select the Master account and the Slave account or accounts. The primary live brokerage account should be the main account rather than a demo account.
4. Open a chart with Trading mode active and select the Master account.
5. Open Setup > Slave Account, add the Slave account or accounts, and set the size multiplier used for Slave positions.
