What is Auto-increase?
Auto-increasing the trade amount can be useful in situations where it is necessary to protect a trade from forced closure, without requiring constant monitoring by the trader.
By automatically allocating available funds to support such a trade, you increase its resilience by adjusting the weighted average entry price.
Recalculating the entry price also means recalculating the forced closure level, which is shifted to a safer distance.

Important details
The amount of Auto-increase is 50% of the amount of funds involved in this trade. If there are not enough funds for such an operation, the amount of free balance of funds in the account will be used.
An Auto-increase in the trade amount occurs when a loss of ≥50% of the funds involved in the trade is formed.
The fee for automatically increasing the trade amount is equal to the fee for opening a new trade on this instrument, including the spread. Fees are charged in accordance with the Specifications page.
Auto-increase of the trade amount is performed using the initial multiplier. If the corresponding multiplier coefficient is not available, for example at the time of the release of important news, then the auto-increase of the transaction cannot be performed until the initial multiplier for this instrument becomes available.
From the moment when the trade amount is increased, the Swap Fee (SWAP) will be charged in accordance with the new trade amount.
The Auto-increase function will not work if the trade reaches Stop Out in a situation of a leap in the instrument price, when the current price differs from the previous one by several points ("gap").
