The AutoTrade feature says that it will copy the trades. Does this mean that it will copy the trade sizes as well? What if the account being copied has a balance of 10k and your account has a balance of 1k, does that mean your trades will be the same size or will they be 1/10 of the account being copied? The FAQ doesn't answer this. Does anyone know?

I don't know exactly, but may I notify, that strategy should depend on size of lots. So simply if you copy someone's trades, even if you may have enough equity to open your own orders, it may cause different result.
If you want to end up with a nonaverage net worth, a “learn from someone else” attitude is paramount. Putting your ego aside and admitting that you don’t know it all isn’t easy, but it is the mindset of true winner ----Paul Tudor Jones.

Thanks, if you try a demo autotrade account, you can choose the risk that your account trades at which dictates the trade sizes I figured out now.
