There are 3 possible ways to achieve 2,000 USD strategy equity (for Social Pro account) and make the strategy active:
- The Strategy Provider deposits 2,000 USD in one single transaction as the initial deposit, making the strategy active.
- The Strategy Provider deposits 500 USD or more, but less than 2,000 USD initially, and then he/she deposits more funds additionally until the sum of deposits hits 2,000 USD in total, the strategy becomes active.
- The Strategy Provider deposits 500 USD or more, but less than 2,000 USD initially, and then he/she starts trading. Some time in the future the Strategy Provider makes another deposit. If the result of trades and a sum of deposits is 2,000 USD, the strategy becomes active.
