With apologies for what I fear is a dumb question, I regret I'm not understanding the proper usage of the "Capital" slider in Z8.
The online manual states:
Set the Capital slider to the total margin you want to invest.
...and:
Determines the total leveraged capital to be invested, i.e. the sum of the maintenance margin of the open positions. While the portfolio composition changes every month, the total invested margin remains constant and can be set up with this slider. Keep this value well below the cash on the account.
On an IB account, let's say I have $4500 currently placed in trades and $500 in cash. The IB account is a standard "cash" account with a "Maintenance margin" requirement of zero.
Where should I set the slider?
