Costs are channel opens and rebalancing fees.
With a small amount of sats your opening costs will be a much larger % of capital and you’ll need to rebalance far more frequently.
This makes it unlikely to break even or profit and likely will run at a loss.
I’ve got no hard model, but I suspect to get close to breaking even reliably you’ll need whole coin levels deployed.
