can someone explain suggested minimum capital for equity strategies? For eg: if the suggested minimum capital is $30k, does that mean that I need this capital to replicate 1/100th of the position taken by the strategy?
For ex: If a strategy shows long TSM BTO 700 at $192 = ~$14k, that means my portfolio should atleast have $1.4k to execute at 1% scale? is that understanding correct?
I’m a little confused with the 1% scale example. In general, you can scale down stock systems fairly low as long as the positions don’t scale down to less than 1 share. However, you need to factor in the monthly subscription and/or autotrade fees to determine if you will still make enough profit at the lower scaling to more than offset these fees.
