AUM caps per connection
Minimum capital to run the Engine
The Engine needs enough capital to split into multiple positions, manage risk properly, and avoid hitting the exchange's minimum order sizes. Minimums per Alpha:
| Alpha | Minimum capital | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Alpha Crypto | $1,000, recommended from $2,000 | LIVE (BingX, Bybit, Hyperliquid) |
| Alpha Stock | 75,000,000 VND (~$3,000), recommended from 200,000,000 VND | LIVE (DNSE) |
| Alpha Goods | 75,000,000 VND, recommended from 150,000,000 VND | Coming soon (SFVN) |
| Alpha FX | $1,000 | Coming soon (MT4/MT5) |
Below the minimum, the Engine can't guarantee the allocation and diversification it's designed for.
Maximum cap by plan
The cap is the amount of capital (AUM) your plan covers. It's counted per connection (one Alpha on one exchange), per asset class - Crypto and FX in USD, Stock and Goods in VND (Goods is double Stock, see the table below), never combined.
| Plan | Cap/connection - Crypto, FX | Cap/connection - Stock | Cap/connection - Goods |
|---|---|---|---|
| Air | $2,500 | 250M VND | 500M VND |
| Plus | $5,000 | 500M VND | 1B VND |
| Pro | $12,000 | 1.25B VND | 2.5B VND |
| Max | $50,000 | 2.5B VND | 5B VND |
| Enterprise | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
What "per connection" means:
- Each connection gets the full plan cap, independent of your other connections. The Engine manages MIN(account balance, cap) on each connection.
- Total capital managed = cap × number of running connections. Example on Plus (cap $5,000): Alpha Crypto running on Bybit + BingX = 2 connections × $5,000 = up to $10,000; using the full 2 Alphas × 2 exchanges = 4 connections = up to $20,000.
- Each exchange connects one account only (one API key).

What if your balance is over the cap? (no fee)
The Engine manages capital up to your plan's cap on each connection. If the balance on a connection is higher than the cap, the Engine trades up to the cap and the excess simply stays in your exchange account - untouched and completely safe. There is no fee on the excess.
- First integration with a balance already over the cap → it integrates fine. You only need to meet the Alpha's minimum capital; a balance over the cap is not rejected - the Engine just manages up to the cap, with no fee.
- Adding funds that push you over the cap → the Engine keeps managing up to the cap, and the newly deposited excess sits idle. The dashboard shows an upgrade suggestion. No fee.
- Market profit that pushes you over the cap → same thing: the Engine manages up to the cap, the profit excess sits idle. No fee, ever.
Want the Engine to manage your full balance → upgrade your plan (see Upgrade your plan / move to a lower plan). The higher cap applies immediately and the Engine deploys the previously-idle capital.

Keeping part of your assets aside
The Engine manages the entire balance in the trading wallet of the connected account (it reads the whole wallet, then caps the size it manages at your plan's cap). To keep some funds completely outside the Engine's reach → move them to a non-trading wallet (Funding/Earn) or a separate account/sub-account not connected to AlphaSet. See Manage only part of my balance?.
Frequently asked questions
Which plan should I pick for my capital? Pick a plan whose cap ≥ the balance you expect on each connected exchange account. Large capital or multiple Alphas → Pro/Max. See the full comparison in Plans: Air / Plus / Pro / Max.
Is there an absolute maximum? There's a per-plan cap, but Enterprise is unlimited for large/institutional clients - contact us for a custom contract.
