Getting Started

How much of your overall portfolio to put into Alpha Pro isn't something we can advise on — it's a personal financial decision that depends on your goals and risk tolerance, and it isn't part of the documented strategy. What we can say plainly: Alpha Pro can lose money and carries its risk in rare, bigger losses (and, on the leveraged 2x, liquidation risk), so only commit what you're comfortable putting at risk. For a sizing conversation specific to your situation, talk to the team — but the allocation decision is ultimately yours.

The minimum is always a dollar amount (0.4 BTC or $30,000 USDT or USDC), not a fixed number of Bitcoin. If you fund with BTC, the bot doesn't sell it — your BTC just sits in the account as collateral (backing for the trades), counted at close to its market value minus a small exchange fee (~98% of market value). Your profits and losses are handled in a stablecoin. Because the minimum is set in dollars, the amount of BTC you need changes with its price: when BTC is cheaper you need more of it to reach the minimum, and when it's pricier you need less.

There's no maximum — you can fund Alpha Pro with a lot (the only set limit is the minimum to start, $30,000 USDT or USDC for Alpha 1x / 0.4 BTC or $30,000 USDT or USDC for Alpha 2x). For a large allocation (say $100k or $200k), nothing caps it, but it's worth confirming the sizing with the team first. A few things to know: a bigger account isn't riskier in shape — the strategy's limits are percentages, so it just trades bigger absolute sizes with the same proportions (which also means bigger swings when losses come). There's no lock-in period — your funds stay in your own account the whole time and you can withdraw anytime. On liquidity: the strategy places small market orders (a big deposit is deployed as many modest orders, not one huge block) on liquid coins, so slippage stays limited — but for a very large size on a specific venue, the team can check whether it would move the market.

One larger account is fine — you don't need to split your money into several minimum-size accounts to keep risk low. The strategy's risk limits are percentages of your capital, not fixed dollar amounts, so a $100,000 account and a $30,000 account carry the same risk shape; the bigger one just trades bigger sizes. Splitting the same money across many small accounts doesn't reduce your overall exposure to the same seven coins — it just adds setup and monitoring work, and very small accounts sit closer to exchange minimum-order limits, which causes practical problems. There IS one subaccount worth using: a single dedicated subaccount (or Coinbase 'Portfolio') for the strategy — but that's for keeping your trading capital separate from your other holdings (custody), not for slicing risk.
