Automatic Contract Scaling w/ TopstepX Copier

I would like to see automatic contract scaling with the trade copier since we’re only able to take the same contract size using the copier, regardless of account size. (ex. 5 contracts on a 50k automatically takes 15 on a 150k)

    Add proportional risk scaling between accounts in TopstepX Trade Copier

    Currently, the TopstepX Trade Copier allows linking multiple funded accounts (e.g. 50k and 150k) so that trades on one account are mirrored on another. However, the copier duplicates the same contract size instead of scaling the position size proportionally to account balance.

    For example: • If I open 1 contract on a 50k account, the same 1 contract is opened on my 150k account. • This creates unequal risk exposure — the 50k account risks 3× more capital percentage-wise than the 150k account.

    Suggested improvement: Please add a “Risk/Balance Multiplier” or “Auto Scale Contracts by Account Size” option in the Trade Copier settings.

    This feature would automatically adjust position sizes so that both accounts risk the same percentage per trade, regardless of balance differences.

    Since Tradovate and Rithmic already have this feature, adding it to TopstepX would keep it on par with other major trading platforms.

      IT WOULD BE GREAT IF IT WAS.
