Capital requirement

Minimum account balance — $149.74

Running 0.01 lot on USDCAD at 1:500 leverage needs about $149.74 of balance. The binding constraint is drawdown budget.

Burn-in note: this is a grid with a stop loss (InpStopLoss = 0.003) at 97% exposure, so the tail is bounded by the stop. The figure above is sized on this 19-month sample; a sustained trend can exceed it.

Margin level at the worst moment8.60equity / used margin if funded with exactly the minimum; 1.00 = margin still fully covered

Margin arithmetic: contract × lots × price ÷ leverage — the BASE currency is USD, so the price cancels out and the margin is contract × lots ÷ leverage, independent of where the pair is trading. The price used for the total is the effective peak price (1.43573) — the single price that reproduces the peak notional actually carried — not the last bar's, because the margin was charged bar by bar as the position grew.

Distance inputs are price offsets, matching the EA's NormalizeDouble(price ± input, digits). The pip equivalent is shown for reference.
