A strategy can have settings that describe how much it may try to use. Those settings are instructions and limits, not a second wallet filled with new money. If two strategy cards refer to the same account, they do not each receive a separate copy of its cash. Start with the account context before comparing the amounts on the cards.

In the strategy settings available to your account, look for Capital allocation. The current choices include Strategy default, a fixed amount, and a percentage of PCR per entry. PCR refers to Potential Cash Realize. We have already seen why that estimate differs from cash already available. A percentage of an estimated account figure still needs to fit the actual conditions for an entry.

A fixed entry amount describes a target amount for an entry. It does not reserve an unlimited supply of that amount for every future opportunity. For a simple illustration, setting a one-hundred-dollar target does not fund ten purchases just because ten candidates appear. The account's available resources and the strategy's other limits still have to support each request.

Position slots answer a different question: how many positions the strategy is allowed to use under its settings. A Used figure compared with a slot count is not a dollar balance. Two available slots do not prove enough cash exists to fill them. A dollar allocation and a position count are different units, so do not substitute one for the other.

The current settings can also show Preferred minimum entry and a choice to use remaining cash. Read the help text beside those controls. Using remaining cash is conditional, including whether the exchange minimum can still be met. It is not permission to ignore minimums, spend more than the account has, or assume that any leftover amount will always produce a valid order.

Think about two strategies sharing an illustrative four hundred dollars of tradable cash. Each may have a two-hundred-dollar target, but those targets are plans, not additional deposits. If one request commits resources, the other request must be checked against the resulting availability. Do not add the four hundred in cash to both targets and call the account worth eight hundred dollars.

The connection trading budget, the strategy allocation, and the strategy's open positions also have different roles. The connection budget limits the cash considered for that Live setup. Allocation describes how a strategy sizes an intended entry. Open positions show assets already held. Their values can be relevant to supervision without becoming separate cash balances that can all be spent again.

Your checkpoint is to read one strategy card in complete units: its mode, allocation choice, target if shown, slot count, and current position usage. Then return to the account's cash context. You do not need to enable a strategy or save different settings for this exercise. The useful result is knowing which numbers describe resources and which describe instructions for using them.
