• If Master Account #1 opens 0.1 lot USDJPY, then the Investor will open 0.5 lots as follows:

• If Master Account #2 opens 4 lots USDJPY, then the Investor will open 2 lots as follows:

  (4 lots x ($5,000/ $10,000) x 1) = 2 lots

• If Master Account #3 opens 8 lots USDJPY, then the Investor will open 2 lots as follows:

  (8 lots x ($5,000/ $20,000) x 1) = 2 lots
