Can someone please explain to me what minimal balance is and how it works in the Autotrade. I read the info, but I could not understand or see the "big picture" so to speak.

My understanding is, if I set the multiplier to 0.1, or 0.2, etc, then when trades are open by the SPs, they would be opened proportionally according to the multiplier, correct? So if the SP open a full lot, then my multiplier setting, say to 0.2, will open 2 mini lots. Is that a correct assumption?

So why is it riskier to have a smaller minimal balance than having it at 100%? I think I'm missing something in translation here.

Thanks all!
