If you want to do dollar-cost averaging, allocate at most is a very effective way to space out your purchases. When you set this type of rule, the dollar amount specified is the maximum amount of cash that Passiv will attempt to allocate in a single set of trades. As you place trades your accuracy will get closer to 100%.
If you want to keep a fixed amount of cash in your account, retain at least is the option for you. This ensures that Passiv's calculations will keep a minimum amount of cash in the specified account. This comes in handy if you'd like to have some cash sitting on the sidelines as you do research. When this rule is enabled you will not be able to get to 100% accuracy as not all of your cash is allocated or accounted for in your target portfolio.
Note that Cash management rules apply on a cash-equivalent basis for all securities in the account. For example, if you have a rule to allocate at most $1,000 CAD, Passiv will allocate up to $1,000 CAD of value in cash in whatever currencies are available, including whichever securities are most appropriate to buy. If you don't want to incur conversion fees, you can enable currency handling settings.
You can find these options in the Portfolio Settings tab for each portfolio group.
