# Maximum lot size

This feature limits the total lot size of all open positions created by this copier (globally or per symbol).\
If the configured maximum is reached, no new positions will be opened until existing positions are closed.<br>

**Skip if exceeds max**\
When enabled, trades will be skipped if opening a new position would exceed the configured maximum lot size.\
The trade will not be limited or resized it will simply not be executed.<br>

**Check master lot size**\
When enabled, the maximum lot size check is performed against the **master account’s** original lot size instead of the calculated follower lot size.

This means a trade will be skipped if the master trade itself exceeds the configured maximum even if the calculated follower lot size would be smaller.
