It is clearly based on the stocks, the investor wishes to invest in. However, we fund up to 4 times the capital the investor invests. 

How to get maximum profits from MTFs? 

Diversification is the key factor for making maximum & consistent returns. Any seasoned investor will never invest over 20% of their capital in one stock. Averaging the script when stocks hit a stop-loss is one of the very common mistakes done by investors. Rather than averaging the loss, selling your stock and reinvesting in other stocks is always advisable. Whenever an investor sells a stock that hits the stop-loss, it doesn’t mean a missed opportunity but a strategy to protect your capital. Hence, with MTF, investors can diversify their portfolios with multiple stocks.
