Max Buys Per Position
The Max Buys per Position setting lets you control how many times additional buy orders can be added to a single position. This prevents overallocation to a single trade and helps you maintain a balanced exposure across multiple positions.
By setting a limit, you ensure that no single trade consumes more capital than intended, even if the copied trader continues to add to the same position over time.
How It Works
Each copy trade monitors how many buy orders are executed for every open position.
When the Max Buys per Position limit is reached, any further buy actions on that same position will be skipped.
The position will remain open, but no additional capital will be added.
Once the position is closed, the counter resets, and the limit will apply again to the next position.
This feature ensures consistent risk management by capping how much you can scale into a single trade.
HOW TO SET MAX BUYS PER POSITION
You can configure this setting when creating a new copy trade or editing an existing one on both the:
EXAMPLE
If you set Max Buys per Position to 3:
The copied trader’s first buy opens the position.
The next two additional buys (adds) will be copied.
Any further buys beyond the third one will be skipped until the position closes.
This ensures you never allocate more than your predefined number of buys to a single trade.
BEST PRACTICES
Lower limits (e.g., 1–2): Recommended for conservative strategies where capital preservation is key.
Higher limits (e.g., 3–5): Suitable for strategies that average into positions over time, but carry higher risk exposure.
Adjust your limit based on the trader’s behavior—some strategies rely heavily on scaling in, while others don’t.
