or the total lots will be 6 whatever the No. of positions the system will generate?


2nd question, can I adjust the max positions allowed for each system to be opened at the same time?


Thanks
When selecting the "Fixed Lots" of say 60k, each time a signal is generated by the signal provider, it will place a 60k position in your account.

For illustrative purposes, let's assume the system you have chosen has a max positions of 5. This means the system might have 5 positions opened at the same time. You have set each signal to open a 60k position, so you have a maximum exposure of 300k possibly open at any time.

60,000 X 5 = 300,000

At this time, the max positions setting is not adjustable. We are looking into a future enhancement which would allow the client to select a max position customize the number of positions opened from a signal provider.
