Hello,

I just started learning automatic trading and have a question regarding memory management. I understand how much money I can reinvest(by how much I can increase the margin). I also understand how much money I can withdraw. However I don't know how to do when I want to do both at the same time. In the Zorro manual stands the following:

Quote:

Balance on account: C+P-W
Must stay on account: C*f
Available to withdraw: C+P-W - C*f
Available to reinvest: C*f - W/f


The formulas work fine, except for the last one. I don't understand what the result means/ by how much I can increase the margin.

Example Scenario:
Capital: 3000
Total Profit: 350
Total Withdrawn: 0

Quote:

Balance on account: 3350
Must stay on account: 3170.173497
Available to withdraw: 179.8265032
Available to reinvest: 3170.173497


As far as I understand, I am now allowed to withdraw up to 179?
Suppose I only want to withdraw 100. By how much can I can increase the margin then? What does the amount under "Available to reinvest" has to do with it?

kind regards,

Alain
