When a participant selects and activates a strategy, their capital is connected to the system’s trading infrastructure. From that moment, the system begins analyzing the market, identifying opportunities, and executing trades automatically. The participant does not manage this process.\ All operations are handled by AI, the Grid, and computational nodes. #### How Income Is Generated Income is generated through real market operations and is recorded on a daily basis. Depending on the selected strategy and its parameters, returns typically range from: * approximately **0.5% to 3% per day** This range depends on: * the strategy type * its duration * internal execution logic Strategy durations vary from short-term to long-term formats, allowing participants to choose a model that fits their goals. #### Flexibility of Results One of the key features of this model is flexibility. Participants can: * withdraw profit * keep it on balance * reinvest into the system * combine different approaches At the end of the strategy term: * the initial capital is returned * the accumulated profit remains with the participant *** Capital-based income provides a consistent and automated foundation, where the system generates results and the participant decides how to manage them. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://illuminance.gitbook.io/docs/earning-with-illuminance/how-you-earn-in-illuminance/earning-from-capital.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
