Was trying to set capital to 100cr on the blueshift platform but getting an error that only 10cr is the maximum limit possible. Any reason for this ? And any work around ?
This is restriction to make sure users do not put a very large number inadvertently. At a very large size of capital, the default slippage model may no longer be applicable and may require custom slippage models and extra data. We have chosen (somewhat subjectively) a 1B mark for this.
@prodipta 1B might seem a lot in case of USD but not sure for INR market this is enough. No work around is it?
I think you are right. For lower frequency strategies that we can develop on Blueshift, the limit in INR may be a tad too low. We will relax this restriction in our next update (ETA is around Nov). But unfortunately there is no work around this from the site at present.
