What OmenSyncer controls vs your broker
Why a follower can fill at a different price or size than the leader, which parts of that OmenSyncer controls, and which belong to your broker.
Updated
OmenSyncer decides what order to send and to which accounts. Your broker decides how, and whether, that order fills. Knowing the split answers most questions people have about copying.
| OmenSyncer controls | Your broker controls |
|---|---|
| Detecting the leader’s fill | The price your follower actually fills at |
| Which accounts copy the trade | Slippage between order and fill |
| The size sent to each follower | Accepting or rejecting the order |
| Translating the contract across brokers | Margin and buying-power checks |
| Attaching the TP/SL bracket | How fast the order is acknowledged |
Why followers can differ from the leader
OmenSyncer sends every follower the correct order almost instantly, but each follower is a separate account on the broker's side. Between the moment we send an order and the moment it fills, the market can move, and each broker fills independently. That's why two accounts on the same trade can end up a tick or two apart. It's normal.
The common outcomes all happen at the broker, not in the copier:
| You see | Usually because |
|---|---|
| A different fill price | Normal slippage as the market moves. See Different fill price than the leader. |
| An order rejected | Margin, a position limit, or a prop firm rule on that account. See Rejected orders. |
| A follower that didn’t copy | A gate wasn’t met (inactive, connection off, out of plan). See Why isn’t my trade copying? |
What this means for you
Set your followers up so the broker says yes: enough margin and buying power for the sizes you're copying, multipliers that match each account's size, and room under any prop firm position limits. OmenSyncer always sends the order. Getting it filled cleanly comes down to the account being ready to accept it. See Best practices.
