How do ratios work?

Post by xpixelx »

Hello Dear Trade Expert Support :)

when ratio is set to 1.00 does tradeexpert than send 1:1 back? what must i setup to oversend bigger trades, or does trade expert make this automatically if enough traffic is there, and the skimming percent is low? :)

Hi there,

no ratio 1.00 doesn't mean that at all. Your trade type by default is set at "value" and ratios are by default set at 1.00 and this is how it works:

from the manual "edit" topic / ratio parameter:

Ratio: Ratios are relative to each other. Only the relation between them matters. If ratios for all your trades are set to 1.0, that makes it exactly the same as if all trades had ratio set at e.g. 5.0. Example: You have two trades in your DB: tradeX and tradeY. Both trades have sent the same amount of traffic and produced the same amount of clicks. If you have ratio set to 1.0 for both of them, they'll both get exactly the same amount of traffic back. But if tradeX had ratio set to 1.0 and tradeY to 2.0, tradeY would get 2x more traffic back than tradeX. It is recommended to keep all ratios at the default value (1.00), unless you would intentionally like to set better or worse conditions for some trades.

regards,
Jim
