As a strategy provider using a Standard or Pro account, your deposits and withdrawals directly influence your strategy’s equity , copying conditions, and visibility. Understanding these effects helps you manage strategy performance and investor experience more effectively.

How deposits affect a strategy

When you deposit funds into your strategy account:

1. Strategy equity increases
   
   • This can make your strategy more attractive and eligible for larger future investments.
2. Can activate an inactive strategy
   
   • If your equity meets the activation threshold (e.g., 100 USD minimum), the strategy becomes available for copying.
3. Recalculates the copy ratio (copy coefficient)
   • The copy ratio is the proportion used to copy your orders to investors’ accounts.
   • Depositing funds triggers a recalculation to ensure investment equity aligns with the updated strategy equity.
   • All open copied orders are closed and reopened instantly at zero spread using the new ratio.

Deposits do not impact commission calculations, as the equity of investments, not the strategy's equity, is used to calculate the commission.

The maximum equity limit across the strategy and all its investments remains 500,000 USD.

How withdrawals affect a strategy

When you withdraw funds from your strategy account:

1. Strategy equity decreases
   • If your balance falls below the minimum equity requirement, the strategy becomes unavailable for new copying.
   • Existing investments remain active, but no new investors can copy the strategy until sufficient equity is restored.
2. May increase the copy ratio
   • The copy coefficient adjusts based on the ratio between your equity and your investors’ equity.
   • This affects future order sizes for investors who continue to copy your strategy.

Be cautious with withdrawals — they can unintentionally reduce your strategy’s availability or distort the copying ratio.
