Strategy Holdings

AVAILABLE IN:

Introduction

The Holdings tab lets you define the instruments included in your strategy. Here, you can view details such as instrument type, currency, price and specify the target allocation.

For accurate calculations, the necessary parameters must be provided based on the asset type:

Equities and ETFs: The minimum lot quantity must be validated.
Fixed Income instruments (bonds): The minimum investment amount and the minimum yield must be validated.
Options: The option contract size must be validated.

These field validations depend on the type of asset.
