# Alpha Max Per Trade

`POST /v1/me/accounts/{account_id}/alphas/{deploy_id}/max-per-trade`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.quantradin.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.quantradin.com/v1/me/accounts/{account_id}/alphas/{deploy_id}/max-per-trade`
- Auth: none declared

MAX $/TRADE (2026-08-05) — set (or clear with null) this bot's OWN
per-trade dollar cap. It OVERRIDES the desk cap; cleared → the bot follows
the desk cap (or is uncapped if that is unset too).

A LIVE-FILL knob (like sizing): the walk sizes an order down to fit it, or
skips a trade whose smallest unit already exceeds it — it NEVER touches the
verdict. Owner/desk-pair scoped (404 cross-desk, via _owned_deployment),
audited like the other per-bot edits.
