⚡Step 2: Connect Algo to Your Account

This step is to help you configure the algorithm on your trading account.

1. Navigate to the Trade Copier section:

   1. Click the Menu

   2. Click 'Configurator'

   3. Click 'Trade Copier'

1. Click “Create Copier”

1. Configure Copier Settings

   1. Make sure it says 'Copy from' to " ⚡️ TRND Bot Optimus"

   2. Make sure it says 'Send to' "Your Name"

   3. Risk Type: "Risk Multiplier by Balance" (we'll talk about other options below, this is just default)

   4. Multiplier: 1.00

   5. Copy Existing Trades: No (👈 IMPORTANT IT STAYS "NO" & NOT YES)

   6. Click "Create Copier"

2. Configure additional settings by clicking on the gear icon next to the red stop button on the right.

1. Configure "Risk Settings"

   1. By default we set the algorithm to take the safest risk to reward ratio possible. Anything lower or higher than default you accept liability & under performance, including account liquidation if not used correctly.

      1. Reverse trades: Keep at "no".

      2. Risk Type: "Risk Multiplier by Balance" allows you to make deposits to your trading account, and the algorithm automatically adjusts to take bigger trades with a larger deposit. Leave this at Risk Multiplier by Balance.

      3. Multiplier: This is the main risk lever you have. We keep at at 1 by default, but if you want to lower risk by -10% you would set this to .9. Additionally, if you wanted to lower risk by -30%, you could set multiplier to .7, etc. Lower risk will also lower gains, but make it safer. Keeping multiplier at 1 will give you default risk and default performance.

      4. Slippage: We don't suggest changing this, if you're using OX securities as their slippage is never 100 or more.

      5. Force Min Lot: If your account is below the suggested balance of $4,000 minimum, we suggest enabling "force min lot" to "yes". Otherwise, this section is irrelevant and can stay at "no".

         1. Although we allow for accounts under $4,000, please understand that if your account is below $4,000 it is considered higher risk, because there isn't much capital to trade with. Please add to your account over time to reach $4,000, as soon as you can.

      6. Max Lot: IMPORTANT 👉 Max Lot should be set, and changed over time, depending on account balance. Please follow the table below.

      7. Click Update on when finished

Account Balance	Max Lot
$50,000	50
$100,000	100
$150,000	150
$200,000	200
Etc (see below)

$$Max Lot = Balance/1,000$$

IMPORTANT: as your account grows, please adjust these so that the algorithm has enough access to capital to remain profitable during volatile moments. It is uncommon on a daily basis to get close to max lot figures above.

1. Configure Stops & Limits

   1. Click in the submenu in the top left to 'Risks & Limits'

   2. Change Take Profit, Stop Loss, and Pending Orders to "yes"

   3. Click Update on when finished
