     Since the limits on exchanges are usually stable and are not updated often, some pairs can show pretty high minimum limits, simply because the price increased a lot since the last limit adjustment by the exchange.

 By default, the bot assumes that the `complete amount - 1%` is at it's disposal, and when using [dynamic stake amount](#dynamic-stake-amount), it will split the complete balance into `max_open_trades` buckets per trade.

 For example, if you have 10 ETH available in your wallet on the exchange and `tradable_balance_ratio=0.5` (which is 50%), then the bot will use a maximum amount of 5 ETH for trading and considers this as available balance. The rest of the wallet is untouched by the trades.

 !!! Warning
     The `tradable_balance_ratio` setting applies to the current balance (free balance + tied up in trades). Therefore, assuming the starting balance of 1000, a configuration with `tradable_balance_ratio=0.99` will not guarantee that 10 currency units will always remain available on the exchange. For example, the free amount may reduce to 5 units if the total balance is reduced to 500 (either by a losing streak, or by withdrawing balance).
 
+#### Assign available Capital
+
+To fully utilize compounding profits when using multiple bots on the same exchange account, you'll want to limit each bot to a certain starting balance.
+This can be accomplished by setting `available_capital` to the desired starting balance.
+
+Assuming your account has 10.000 USDT and you want to run 2 different strategies on this exchange.
+You'd set `available_capital=5000` - granting each bot an initial capital of 5000 USDT.
+The bot will then split this starting balance equally into `max_open_trades` buckets.
+Profitable trades will result in increased stake-sizes for this bot - without affecting stake-sizes of the other bot.

+!!! Warning "Incompatible with `tradable_balance_ratio`"
+    Setting this option will replace any configuration of `tradable_balance_ratio`.

 #### Amend last stake amount
