A window with the strategy settings will appear.
Specify the following parameters:
Prior to being able to set up a strategy, you must have 2 Live accounts open. Note that 2 different accounts must be selected; 1 reward account (this is where you will receive your profits), and the other the external one (the account you will use to trade).

Automatically create an account: If you do not want to create an account automatically, select a converted account
The External Account must only have a 100:1 leverage.
Social trading investors' accounts are set at 100:1. So, trades on each account will always be the same.

Enable auto confirmation for investment requests: If this box is checked and rollovers are disabled, investment requests will be processed automatically without waiting for confirmation. If this box is checked and rollovers are enabled, investment requests will be processed automatically, but only during the allowed time period (Rollovers start time (UTC) to Rollovers end time (UTC))
Allow deposits and withdrawals for active investments: If enabled deposits and withdrawals will be allowed for investments, both fully and partially. If disabled, an investor can only create a new investment or close the current investment in full, being unable to deposit/withdraw on an active investment.
