Initial funding

Once your Custom Pie is added to your portfolio, it will be included in all future trading events.Your portfolio will not automatically rebalance once a new Pie is added. For more information on how the M1 Automated Trading System works please read: How M1 Trades.

Are the same stocks allowed in different Pies?

Every Pie is independent, so the same stock can be held in two different Pies.

During a trade window, if the M1 trading algorithm indicates buying "Stock A" in one Pie and selling "Stock A" in another, the orders would be internally netted first and only the net amount would be executed.

M1 will never buy and sell the same security on the same day.
