Your Preferred SmartTrade Configuration

The following section allows you to define how your individual SmartTrade trading engine should operate.

You will notice that many fields already contain default selections, which have been carefully chosen based on practical trading experience and are designed to ensure stable and efficient system behavior, optimal use of your trading capital, and reduced setup complexity.

Exchange Selection

We recommend focusing on a single exchange, particularly NASDAQ, due to its high liquidity, large number of actively traded instruments, and strong representation of technology-driven growth companies. These characteristics provide highly favorable conditions for algorithmic trading.

Assets

Selecting all available assets allows SmartTrade to identify and act on the widest possible range of opportunities, increasing diversification and improving signal quality.

Broker

Interactive Brokers (IBKR) is recommended due to its global market access, robust infrastructure, competitive fee structure, and highly reliable API connectivity, all of which are essential for stable automated trading.

Capital

The level of trading capital primarily affects cost efficiency rather than the technical functionality of SmartTrade.

Due to the potentially high number of trades executed per day, transaction fees charged by your broker play a significant role.
Insufficient capital can lead to a situation where fees negatively impact overall performance despite successful trading signals.
For this reason, a higher capital base significantly improves efficiency and sustainability.

While SmartTrade does not impose a fixed minimum capital requirement, practical experience suggests that a starting capital of at least USD/EUR 2,000 should be considered the absolute minimum, with USD/EUR 5,000 representing a more effective level and USD/EUR 10,000 or more being ideal in order to achieve a balanced relationship between trading efficiency, cost structure, and overall system performance.

Optional Paper Trading Phase

Before activating your SmartTrade system in a live trading environment, you may choose to operate your individual trading engine in a simulated ("paper trading") mode for a limited period of time.
This allows you to observe system behavior, execution logic, and trading frequency under real market conditions without deploying actual capital.
This phase is entirely optional but strongly recommended, particularly for users who wish to familiarize themselves with the system before transitioning to live trading.

Please note that a compatible paper trading account with your selected broker may be required for this purpose.

Capital Split

SmartTrade is designed to distribute your capital across multiple simultaneous positions in order to reduce risk concentration.
Deviating from this principle increases exposure per trade and may significantly affect your risk profile.
Please ensure that you fully understand the implications before selecting a custom allocation model.

Please note that reducing the number of concurrent positions may also reduce the portion of your broker account capital actively used by SmartTrade.
Under the standard configuration, capital is allocated across up to 20 concurrent positions, allowing for a broad distribution and potentially full utilization of available capital.
If you limit the system to 10, 5, or 2 concurrent positions while maintaining the same allocation logic, approximately 50%, 75%, or 90% of your available capital may remain unused at any given time.
In contrast, selecting a configuration where 100% of the available capital is allocated per trade results in full capital deployment, but restricts the system to a single active position at any given time, thereby significantly increasing concentration risk.

Risk

SmartTrade is designed to react quickly to even minor trend reversals in order to protect capital and limit downside exposure.
Depending on the specific implementation (tick-based execution rather than a traditional stop-loss approach), the system typically operates with a standard exit logic in the range of approximately 0.8% to 1.0% of the capital allocated per position.
Lower thresholds result in a more conservative trading behavior with faster exits, while higher thresholds may increase potential returns but also significantly raise risk exposure.
