00:00:01.300 --> 00:00:05.040
A strategy can have settings that describe how much it may try

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:08.780
to use. Those settings are instructions and limits, not a second wallet

00:00:08.780 --> 00:00:12.520
filled with new money. If two strategy cards refer to the same

00:00:12.520 --> 00:00:16.260
account, they do not each receive a separate copy of its cash.

00:00:16.260 --> 00:00:20.000
Start with the account context before comparing the amounts on the cards.

00:00:20.500 --> 00:00:24.519
In the strategy settings available to your account, look for Capital allocation.

00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:28.538
The current choices include Strategy default, a fixed amount, and a percentage

00:00:28.538 --> 00:00:32.557
of PCR per entry. PCR refers to Potential Cash Realize. We have

00:00:32.557 --> 00:00:36.576
already seen why that estimate differs from cash already available. A percentage

00:00:36.576 --> 00:00:40.595
of an estimated account figure still needs to fit the actual conditions

00:00:40.595 --> 00:00:41.600
for an entry.

00:00:42.100 --> 00:00:46.217
A fixed entry amount describes a target amount for an entry. It

00:00:46.217 --> 00:00:50.334
does not reserve an unlimited supply of that amount for every future

00:00:50.334 --> 00:00:54.452
opportunity. For a simple illustration, setting a one-hundred-dollar target does not fund

00:00:54.452 --> 00:00:58.569
ten purchases just because ten candidates appear. The account's available resources and

00:00:58.569 --> 00:01:02.000
the strategy's other limits still have to support each request.

00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:06.351
Position slots answer a different question: how many positions the strategy is

00:01:06.351 --> 00:01:10.202
allowed to use under its settings. A Used figure compared with a

00:01:10.202 --> 00:01:14.052
slot count is not a dollar balance. Two available slots do not

00:01:14.052 --> 00:01:17.903
prove enough cash exists to fill them. A dollar allocation and a

00:01:17.903 --> 00:01:21.754
position count are different units, so do not substitute one for the

00:01:21.754 --> 00:01:22.075
other.

00:01:22.575 --> 00:01:26.490
The current settings can also show Preferred minimum entry and a choice

00:01:26.490 --> 00:01:30.404
to use remaining cash. Read the help text beside those controls. Using

00:01:30.404 --> 00:01:34.319
remaining cash is conditional, including whether the exchange minimum can still be

00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.233
met. It is not permission to ignore minimums, spend more than the

00:01:38.233 --> 00:01:42.148
account has, or assume that any leftover amount will always produce a

00:01:42.148 --> 00:01:42.800
valid order.

00:01:43.300 --> 00:01:47.200
Think about two strategies sharing an illustrative four hundred dollars of tradable

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:51.100
cash. Each may have a two-hundred-dollar target, but those targets are plans,

00:01:51.100 --> 00:01:55.000
not additional deposits. If one request commits resources, the other request must

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:58.900
be checked against the resulting availability. Do not add the four hundred

00:01:58.900 --> 00:02:02.800
in cash to both targets and call the account worth eight hundred

00:02:02.800 --> 00:02:03.125
dollars.

00:02:03.625 --> 00:02:07.860
The connection trading budget, the strategy allocation, and the strategy's open positions

00:02:07.860 --> 00:02:12.095
also have different roles. The connection budget limits the cash considered for

00:02:12.095 --> 00:02:16.330
that Live setup. Allocation describes how a strategy sizes an intended entry.

00:02:16.330 --> 00:02:20.565
Open positions show assets already held. Their values can be relevant to

00:02:20.565 --> 00:02:24.800
supervision without becoming separate cash balances that can all be spent again.

00:02:25.300 --> 00:02:29.326
Your checkpoint is to read one strategy card in complete units: its

00:02:29.326 --> 00:02:33.352
mode, allocation choice, target if shown, slot count, and current position usage.

00:02:33.352 --> 00:02:37.377
Then return to the account's cash context. You do not need to

00:02:37.377 --> 00:02:41.403
enable a strategy or save different settings for this exercise. The useful

00:02:41.403 --> 00:02:45.429
result is knowing which numbers describe resources and which describe instructions for

00:02:45.429 --> 00:02:46.100
using them.
