Why does amount of available cash impact on returns (not always) ?

Hi,

Can somebody shed some light on this issue? I have been experimenting with different algos and some are very sensitive to the amount of initial cash, but some are not. For example, I have seen quite different returns on initial cash of 10K vs 100k. What is the key factor here?

Thanks for your help.
