Checklist0/4
How much to allocate to AI trading depends on your financial situation, risk tolerance, and experience level.
WARNING
AI trading allocation should come from funds you can afford to lose entirely. Never allocate emergency savings to trading.
| Category | Guidance |
|---|---|
| Emergency Fund | Never allocate emergency savings to trading. Keep 3-6 months expenses in stable assets. |
| Core Holdings | Long-term investments (retirement, major purchases) should remain separate. |
| Risk Capital | AI trading allocation should come from funds you can afford to lose entirely. |
| Learning Budget | Start with amount you'd spend on education. Learning the system has value. |
Suggested Starting Amounts
| Profile | Starting Capital | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Experimenter | $100-300 | Learning the interface. Expect to make mistakes. |
| Cautious Beginner | $500-1,000 | Enough to test strategies meaningfully. |
| Serious Trader | $2,000-5,000 | Sufficient for diversified agent strategies. |
| Experienced | $10,000+ | Multi-agent portfolio with proper position sizing. |
Within your allocated capital, manage risk per trade.
Risk 1-2% per trade. If you can't survive 10 losses in a row, your position size is too large.
Conservative Approach (Recommended for Beginners)
- Risk per trade: 1-2% of trading capital
- Maximum concurrent positions: 2-3
- Total portfolio at risk: Never more than 10% at once
Example: $1,000 Capital
- Risk per trade: $10-20 (1-2%)
- Max position size: $100-200 with 5x leverage = $500-1000 exposure
- Concurrent positions: 2 maximum
- Daily loss limit: $50 (5%) triggers trading halt
New users often make predictable errors. Awareness helps avoid them.
Mistake
High Leverage First
- Using 10x+ leverage immediately
- 10% adverse move = 100% loss
- Liquidation happens fast
- No room for error
Better Approach
Start Conservative
- Begin with 2-3x maximum
- Room to survive drawdowns
- Learn market dynamics first
- Scale up after proven results
Mistake
No Stop-Losses
- Hoping losing positions recover
- No defined exit points
- Small losses become catastrophic
- Emotional decision-making
Better Approach
Always Define Exits
- Set stop-loss before every trade
- Configure agent to require them
- Accept small losses as cost of trading
- Systematic risk management
Pro Tip
Let your agent run as configured. Adjust parameters between sessions, not during. If you override half the trades, you're not testing the strategy.
Increase capital only after demonstrating consistent results.
