Max follower capital before slippage eats a third of the edge
Every follower order moves the market a little. The more followers, the worse their fills. We estimate how much money can follow this strategy before that extra cost reaches one third of its average edge per trade.
We use a square-root market impact model per instrument: cost ≈ volatility × √(order size ÷ daily volume). The tightest instrument sets the limit. After launch we measure real follower slippage and recalibrate monthly.
If capacity falls, nobody loses a Seat — every Seat's allocation shrinks by the same factor.
30-day Seat price vs. occupancy: base × (1 + 0.5 × occupancy²)
Capacity decreases never remove Seats — they scale every Seat's allocation equally.
Capacity recalibrated: follower slippage reached 0.37× edge for two Epochs
Capacity increased after monthly recalculation (higher ADV on venue)
