​
Why Is My Entry Price Different from the Leader’s Entry Price, but My Exit Price Is the Same?

The most common reason is that the leader you are following uses an averaging strategy (buying additional positions on dips or adding to short positions as the market rises). If your account has insufficient available margin, some of the leader’s averaging orders may not be copied successfully to your account. As a result, your final average entry price can differ significantly from the leader’s average entry price.

​
Example

  • Leader account capital: $1,000
  • Your account capital: $400
  • Leader averages into a position 5 times, achieving an average entry price of $95
  • Your account successfully copies only the first 2 averaging orders
  • Remaining averaging orders are rejected by the exchange due to insufficient margin
In this case, your average entry price will be different from the leader’s, even though both positions are part of the same strategy.

​
How to Verify This

Compare your open position quantity with the leader’s quantity. For example:
  • Leader position size: 10 lots
  • Your position size: 4 lots
This usually indicates that some averaging orders were not copied to your account because of insufficient margin or exchange-side order rejections.

​
Why Is the Exit Price Still the Same?

MIRRORPIP continues to copy the leader’s exit orders for the quantity that exists in your account. Therefore, while your entry price may differ due to missed averaging orders, the exit signal is still copied from the leader, resulting in the same exit price.

How to Check the Exact Reason

You can view all copied, rejected, and failed orders in the Activity Log within the MIRRORPIP portal. The activity log will display the specific rejection reason provided by your exchange or broker. If you feel this does not help, chat with our helpline at +91-90400-00409 on whatsapp
